Help Identifying a coin

Two profiles on the obverse
Left side says K. Victoria. Right Side says P. Albert

Reverse says RECHEN PFENNIG

There is no date on the coin.

It also is extremely thin and doesn't seem to be completely round. I usually have luck identifying coins by just googling whatever the coins says but not much luck with this one.

I have attached some scans below.

  • "Konigen" is the German word for Queen, so the obverse translates to Queen Victoria-Prince Albert.
    "Pfennig" is the German word for penny, and according to Babelfish "rechen" is the German word for rake.

    I believe you have a token, probably from a child's game or a gambling game, honoring the marriage of Vicky and Al.

  • "Rechenpfennig" also means "counter." This is likely a jeton or a piece of play money ("Spielmarke").
