It's the token that has a Phoenix bird on it.
I wrote an article about Phoenix buttons some time ago, and noticed how the bird on these buttons is almost identical to the one on the token. I can't imagine that was a coincidence.
Here is the article.

Why do you have an image of Broadstruck?
They're all over the internet (the HTTs). I can copied and paste one if the copyright police don't call foul!

Since the phoenix is a mythical bird, any representation of it will likely be copied from earlier representations of it. All will be slightly different, but most will have similar formats. Therefore, the resemblance is not only coincidental, it is normal.

OK so I'm a little late...
1837 Shin Plasters HT-56 / Low-45
1837 Shin Plasters HT-57 / Low-46
1837 May Tenth HT-66A Low-47A
1837 J.M.L. & W.H. Scovill Manufacturing, Connecticut, HT-105, R-3
A tougher token from the manufacturer that struck more then 25% of all Hard Times tokens, along with the 1847 Hawaii Cents and the 1860's New Haven Fugio Restrikes. They are still in business today and make most all buttons and clasps for jeans and infant clothing.
The name "Shin Plasters" was applied to bills of irresponsible banks and private parties. The device of the phoenix rising from flames seems to mean that the paper money was only fit to be burned, and that with its destruction new life would spring from its ashes, The date, November, 1837, is that of a convention held in New York on the 27th of that month, by representatives of leading banks in nineteen states to fix a date for resumption. They met again the 16th of April, 1838 and decided to resume specie payments the 10th of May following, which was successfully accomplished after a suspension of exactly one year.
