When I dug it out I thought I had a big silver coin but happy to have such a nice piece of history. Thanks for looking.

That is a nice token! Looks like something they would have given out at the Century of Progress Fair in 1933-34.

Yes, it makes a lot of sense. Reading the history of the Century of Progress Fair, I learned that samples of processes were given out to the public. No doubt that this Union Pacific "lucky piece" was one of them to show people the content of the new faster trains. Thanks. Here is the info I read: http://www.chicagohs.org/history/century.html
