    It appears to be a Civil War era Sutler's token - a token issued by someone that hung out with a regiment and acted as the commissary.

    As SaorAlba says, it's a sutler token. I can't find an exact match online quickly; I might be able to look it up tonight at home.

    You're going to be shocked at what it's worth. I would expect it to sell for well into three figures on eBay...

    It's by John Stanton of Cincinnati, Ohio. Schenkman lists it as Ohio AM-25B (Curto-48) R-9 (1-4 known)

    Put it on eBay and find out.

    I guess $500 would be a fair price for a problem free one, but yours looks like it has shovel damage, so maybe it's a $250 token.

    Most sutler tokens are very rare (under 10 known) which makes it very hard to form a collection. But the ones who want them fight very hard to get them. If the right two people see it, it could do quite well.

    And cool find! Very intersting piece.
