    Looks like a small religious medal rather than a token.

    I think the Latin translates to “He gave all for the republic.” That made me think of Lincoln. With imagination, I could square that with some of the figures, but not all.

    Found this thread.

    Not sure if it is a match (e.g., metal, size, etc.). If it is not an exact match, perhaps it will provide a lead.

    It is from the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and is most probably the loose insert from a convention or other badge. As mentioned in the attached thread, many of these badges were made by Schwaab Stamp & Stencil of Milwaukee (Whitehead & Hoag of Newark also made similar badges) and they are all post-Civil War. The misconception that they are Civil War tokens occurs often.

    Thanks for the link. I missed that at the time. I’m smarter now.
