I got this token from a local bank here in Okla City. For size comparision it is slightly larger than a half dollar.
It has several dates on it including 5-6-1922. One one side it has "One country One Flag One Language". The obverse has dates 1866-1915 and also 1927 USOKLA. There are also initials placed throughout the observe. I hope the picture came out.

Thanks for any info.\

It's a c. 1920's-30's Oklahoma Ku Klux Klan membership token. I have seen these listed at $50+, and in one case up to $80.

Non Silba Sed Anthar is the KKK motto: "Not for self, but for others."

According to Birdsell's Ku Klux Klan Tokens, these are the meanings of some of the other inscriptions on the token...

AKIA = "A Klansman I Am"

SYMWAO = "Spend Your Money with Americans Only"

OSFK = "One School, Flag, Kountry" [sic]

IWHWE = "Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans"

USOKLA = "United States / Oklahoma"

LFE = meaning unknown

FBP = meaning unknown

Thanks for the quick information!!
And from the look of my heading I think I need to cut back on the
text messaging ;D. We really are taught how to spell better than that
in the vast frontier.

Everyone have a great night !!
