Odd little "play coin"

Found this little thin possibly sliver-plated "play coin" today in a lot where the house is 100 years old. It says "Chicken Feed Play Coin" on one side and " One Henny Penny" on the other. It has a chicken head in the middle. Has anyone seen something like this? Is it from a game? It is slightly smaller than a dime. Thanks!!!

Re: Odd little "play coin"

I just found one of those a couple of weeks ago in my aunt's front yard. Her house was built in the late 40's, and I believe I read somewhere else, though I can't remember where, that these were out during the 1950's. I also don't recall as to whether it was part of a game, or just play money, but something is telling me part of a game.

Either way, it's a cool find. I like mine! I thought I had dug a silver dime when I saw the first glint of it!

Congrats!
