Chicago Worlds Fair 1933 Wooden Nickel

I visited my mom on Christmas.
I had to put some stuff into a locked closet she owns and
when taking the key out of a drawer, saw this item.
It is wood and about 1-1/2" in diameter.



My mom grew up in Chicago and attended the fair in 1933,
so she or her mother must have picked it up there.
