Me too. It's a side profile of a face. Also "dunno".

I think somebody will need to be familiar with it already to ID it. Not much to go on for ebay and google searches. The spinner idea is a good one. I'd definitely give it a try.

The face looks Mayan. I saw that face on several items when I was in Tulum Mexico. That’s about all I have.

Maybe the dashes and vertical lines are Morse code. I don't have the time this morning to try to decipher it, though...

Without the spacing it is tough to decipher. I tried a little. However, since people are still trying to decipher what the STENDEC transmission meant, good luck. For those who don't know, there was an airliner that disappeared in the late 40's and the last transmission was the mysterious "STENDEC".

Looks like some sort of picasso pic to me

When I first looked at the first 2 pics, it looked like Kokopelli was part of it. Then I noticed the face. Still kind of resembles a Kokopelli figure in the "hair" area.

Might turn out to be a treasure Map to the Templar Treasure lol

I think you nailed it, maybe...?
No additional info but a similar piece here:

My Girlfriend and I had a good day in a local soccer field, came across this coin/token. we are in Houston tx. I have looked into everything I can with little to no info. BUT! I believe we have discovered that it may be a token that imitates a Parisii coin. Also the token we found has one more dot at the end. Very strange how this token has been found in two far off states.

Wow, you're definitely on the right track with the Parisii design influence. Strange that the two examples posted this week are identical except the pattern/number of dashes. Board/card game piece is a pretty good possibility.
