Peru token from 1920:

I have had this token since the 1960's.
I had originally thought this was a Mexican wedding token,
but after looking it up, found out it was more:

It appears to be silver plated and quite worn, also has a hole at the top.

Obverse:
BENDICION DEL ESTANDARTE Blessing of the flag
PADRINOS Godparents
ABELARDO COELLO
ANTONIETA DE COELLO
HUARAL The Peruvian state which encloses Lima
FEBRERO 29 1920 February 29, 1920

Reverse:
CENTRO INTERNACIONAL OBRERO International Worker Center
DE AUXILIOS MUTUOS Mutual Aid Society

I can not find out much about the International Worker Center,
except that it was some kind of labor union.
