What's this part?

Had a tower knocked over and I've found this part inside the cash drawer area.

See picture. It's about 7cm long, triangular with a curved edge.

What is it, what's it do, and will machine function without it?

Think it's a clenport tower.

Thanks

This part helps guide the pound coin into the cash tray.
Machine will work fine without it but you will find coins at the bottom of machine.
I've got a few machines missing this part and just put hand inside machine to fish out stray coins
