  It's a token, I like the tiny "NOT" just before the "Twenty Dollars."

  Probably a game counter.

  It reminds me of the fine print on infomercials.
  
  I was thinking NOT was the artists initials or something but it makes sense to me now.

  Might be play money of some sort. The style of engraving is way too cartoonish for 1904.
