Hmm, Morocco would have a five pointed star (pentagram) while this one
has six (hexagram) like the Jewish "Star of David". Other than that,
however, I cannot really help here ...

I've checked in Krause (XIX and XX century) and I didn't find there this
coin.

Christian, you are right, but it is not as simple as that. The former
Spanish Protectorate in Morocco had a six-pointed star, and that is what
confused me.

I do believe it's a heavily worn gamepiece from that wildly popular
early twentieth century Jewish board game, "Stump the Gentile," but I
could be wrong
