White metal, not magnetic (Cu-Ni?), 3.1 gram, 19.9 mm. Both sides are the same.

It think the School for Visual Arts would have come up with something better and the Sociedade Venda Automatica, a Portuguese maker of amusement machines that uses a logo with serifed lettering would have been unable to afford it (they have a staff of 3 persons).

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

In German "SV" can stand for "Sportverein". engl: sporting club. The "A" would be standing then for any village or town beginning with an A. That will be hundreds ...

What if anything is on the other side?

The S. Volunteer Association? (Where S is a place name or similar)

Student Veterans of America
Sussex Volleyball Association

This is Hayes-365 (British Machine Tokens) - somehow my piece has still escaped being filed. My piece is currently next to a very similar (in termes of size, colour, fonts etc..) "H.C.E" piece (Hayes-191) and H.C.E. is Holmark Coin Equipment.

The piece shown here appears to be Copper-Nickel. Hayes-365 is said to be silvered-brass - most likely they both just exist in the same one composition.

Another similar (except for different legend and larger fonts) is a "P.E." - Hayes-306.10.

S.V.A.  -   seemingly Scotish Vending and Amusement...   (not sure where I got that from - but had a not of it from earlier in the year).

Dating....  1960s/1970s.

Thanks Mr Paul Baker

Scottish Vending and Amusement is good enough for me. Thank you, gentlemen!
