Did you come looking for an identification and show two pictures of the same side of a token without even a mention of the other side ?

Doesn't make much sense.

That said, you can start with these:



Temple Token ? with Elephant and Yantra

Could be ancient Hebrew writing.

I think it's a modern token made as votive offering to the gods for good luck or to grant a wish.

Dave

“A votive offering or votive deposit is one or more objects displayed or deposited, without the intention of recovery or use, in a sacred place for religious purposes. Such items are a feature of modern and ancient societies and are generally made in order to gain favor with supernatural forces. Some offerings have apparently been made in anticipation of the achievement of a particular wish, but in Western cultures from which documentary evidence survives it has been more typical to wait until the wish has been fulfilled before making the offering, for which the more specific term ex-voto may be used. Other offerings were very likely regarded just as gifts to the deity, not linked to any particular need.”

As for the writing, it almost looks like some kind of Hieroglyphics
or Sanscrit, but that's just a wag.

I find the arrows intriguing. The rim seems rather sharp to have
been sitting in Bellingham Bay (of all places) for too many years.

Were you scuba diving when you found it? (I know it didn't crawl
into a crab trap.. )

Tried to process the pics a bit to see if there were other markings
that might show up..didn't find any.

I think Dave has it. It's an ancient design that is still produced today? A prayer is said and it is thrown into the water.
