President Cleveland medallion. Need help!

[gardenscott]

Dug this medallion today in a 1880's Ghost Town in AZ. It's about the size of a silver half. I think it's white metal. On the front I'm pretty sure it's President Cleveland looking at maybe Harrison? Eagle on the bottom. On reverse it has the White House. Need help identifying this. Thanks!

Cool, is that a date on the bottom of the reverse?

It could also be Cleveland and Hayes the date will help a lot.

This looks like it may be it: Cleveland Thurman 1888-15 Token

188?

I think nhbenz nailed it.

I don't know much about presidential campaign items, but think the holes might have been added by the owners, noting that the holes were different sizes on yours and the one in the link in my post above. So I looked around and was able to find a non-holed example: 1888 Grover Cleveland Thurman Campaign Token Medal | #16059365
