Help identifying this Asian- origin coin

LtDansLegs

I found this coin last week. It has no dating or anything on it. The image is the same on both sides. I’ve done some searching through a few world coin sites and I’ve found nothing. I’m beginning to think maybe it’s some sort of Asian arcade coin. Any help guys?

I believe it is a Japanese pachinko(sp?) arcade token

Sen is Japan
But it has no ruler so it does not look like coin. If it was coinage it would include:

Anything on reverse side? Check Taiwan or Japan tokens

If it is the same design on both sides, then it's a token - modern coins never have the exact same design on both sides.

The script says (in Chinese) "yi jia" meaning "one price" or "value one" - indicating some kind of token-like usage. "Jia" is not the name or symbol of a currency unit in any east Asian country.

I have given the Chinese pronunciation of the characters, but the token could be from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or even Japan (which uses the same characters, but they're pronounced differently). In the "simplified Chinese" script as currently taught on the mainland, this character "Jia" is now obsolete, so I would therefore assume that it comes from Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Thanks for all the amazing info! So it’s probably worth nothing, but I’m okay with that. I’d like to find exactly where it came from. This will be interesting.

The denomination on this coin is 100 million/ 1億 in traditional Chinese. So I would guess it's a game token from either Taiwan, Hong kong or Japan. Just to let you know, If it is from Taiwan or Hong Kong, it may be a underworld currency intended for burial ceremony.
