hey Gary it looks like a store card token or a hard times token or medal probably 1830's to 1850's , can you read any of the back . it looks like i see boots & hats and a gentleman standing on the other side.

hey just found it , its an 1834 Lafayette, Friend to America & Freedom hardtimes token these usually had different backs as they were used as store cards or advertising .

heres a link to one on ebay
