jogo "toad-in-the-hole"
Explanation:
this is definitely an "English" game, I don't think I would even try to find a Pt name for it, I would leave it like this, hope it helps!
"Toad in the hole is a pub game, involving throwing brass coins at a lead topped table with a hole in the middle. A variation of this game has been played in pubs in East Sussex, UK, the 'hole' being in the centre of the lead which is on top of a wooden table. Toad in the hole is a more refined version of the coin-throwing game Pitch penny."
