Wierd Token I found Today

[pokerdad911]

I went on a small hunt today at a church. I asked the grounds keeper if I could hunt the grass where they have an annual carnival. He OK'd it and 20 minutes later I found this. Does anyone have a clue? I know it's Mardi Gras, but is the year real?

Looks like a 1974 Aluminum Mardi gras dabloon.

Some history:
The Krewe of Okeanos was organized in 1949; ergo, one date on the coin, by civic-minded business leaders who were eager to bring a Carnival parade to St. Claude Avenue, their neighborhood’s main street. The club is named for the Greek god of oceans and fertile valleys (Okeanso--or Oceanus) and is sponsored by the Sonaeko (Okeanos spelled backwards) Club. Okeanos presented its first ball and Mardi Gras parade in 1950.
