    The answer to your question is “I don’t know”.

    I really don’t know what it is. If I was to guess, then I would say it is a token of some type. There are apparently all kinds of patterns and nothing identifying a country of issue or a language or a denomination that I can make-out in the photos. My thoughts were toward Tibet until I saw the big 2488 western influence on the piece. Perhaps one of the knowledgeable people at CT will see your pictures & have a real answer for you. Until then, token is my guess.

    Sorry. It is how you say "thank you" (if you are male) in Thailand. It is pronounced Ka Pun Kup.

    Very best regards,
