the correct letters on the token would be great... can you do a pencil rubbing of it or tell us what you read there?

THORZECAR ROSSBACH?

TROPZECAR?

It may be German. Rossbach is a village in Prussia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Rossbach

I don't see a "N" but a "R". I get >>> thoreecre rossbach
Searching together I get nothing but if you search separate they are both good last names (DUTCH). Maybe this will help somebody.

post both sides.

Is it magnetic? If so, It may be a World War I German coin. Towards the end of the war, coins would be made of iron- I'd try that route

Yea it seems to be close to the German 20 Pfennig in style. There war tokens seem close as well even more so.Maybe railway or store token also.

I think it has something to do with the mining industry?
