I found this token after Hurricane Matthew in Florida while detecting on the beach with my Excal. It's about the size of a nickel but I can not find any information on it anywhere online. Can anyone help with researching it?

It says Clyde Saloon

St. Augustine

Good for 5 cents in trade

I suppose it's possible but if back then was anything like it is today, saying something of Jacksonville is St. Augustine is like saying New York if like Florida :)

It is listed in Clark's Florida Trade Tokens book, but with no history or background info. Rarity 6 (1-5 known) at the time. This is from the first edition of the book - I don't have the 2nd.
