Looks like a commemoritive piece.

That's part of the 36 piece set that the Franklin Mint sent to winners
in the Mr President Coin Game. There were a couple of instant winners
that were redeemed until about 1970 for these sets.

Today the sets are quite common but the aluminum tokens are scarce.
The tokens for the big prizes range from rare to unknown and probably
non-existent.

It's #12 of course.

In that case, why does this piece (and many others I've seen) look circulated?

A lot are circulated.

I suppose it's merely indicative of the number in the publics' hands. It's possible that some of these sets or pieces were sold as well.
