Unknown Chinese coin

Este tema se publicó en el foro en inglés.

Hi,

I have this Chinese coin and I don’t find any information about it. It has the same face on both sides. Is about 25 mm in diameter and orientation is almost perpendicular.  

Could anyone help me?
Hi,

It may come from Chinese,but it is not a Coin,even a token. The characters on it is 人生(English:Human Life).
Hehey now that's good work.

Something tells me that the token could be Japanese too because hito and sen are very commonly used characters.

Thank you both for your replies.

I went to an online dictionary and searched after 人生 and is indeed human life.

But searching just after 生
(http://www.websaru.com/display.php?action=search&word=%E7%94%9F)

it said
- 生 [shēng] to be born, to give birth life ...
- 生丁 [shēng dīng] centime ...

That "centime" should mean something? Should I continue my research about this "coin" or should I "keep that round metal with 人生 on it just for fun"?
It's probably not centime.

To me it looks like an arcade or modern temple token.

It's Japanese most probably, that is an extremely odd phrase to appear on its own in Chinese.
