    mbbiker,

    If genuine, (which is highly doubtful) it could be a pattern $5 struck in copper. Apparently, no $2.50 pieces were made and, as best I can tell, the obverse image doesn't quite match the design for either denomination. Therefore, my best guess is that it is a "gaming counter" produced by Kettle & Sons of England . Supposedly, the word "Kettle" was written to the right of the date on those but has sometimes been removed.

    Cast copper counterfeit? Either way, the cool factor on it is high.
    Mark's probably right.

    It's a Kettle game counter.
