Square coin/token...need help

[dirtdigger1581]

Anyone ever seen something like this before? I have no idea where to even start looking for an ID on this. I can't read the language it's written in, so I'm relying on all of you for help. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!

Happy Hunting!

Not sure about your coin, But I found a square coin the other day that was from India, 1944 and it was Diamond shaped like yours.....Cool find!

That is a Burma 10 pyas coin minted from 1952-1965. Your coin is from 1952. Worth about 20 cents. The second picture of the reverse is correct.

I recognized the mythical figure because I had a problem with a 1800s Burmese coin that I couldn't identify, and someone told me that the figure is on Burmese coins.

The mythical being is called a Chinthe in Burma (Myanmar). Also known as a Pinyin, Tibetan Snow Lion, Chinese Guardian Lion.
