Looks like one of those Shell gasoline tokens that were given away a few years ago...

I agree.
I remember the Shell tokens from the late 60s; others remember the tokens from the 70's--perhaps a different series. Either way, the 1841 date signifies only Harrrison's year in office as the President.

Looks as if it's from one of the presidential commemorative or so-called "presidential data" series issued around 35-50 years ago. Some were given away at gas stations, others at banks, and I believe some were also used as prizes in boxes of breakfast cereal. Later, they were also sold in sets or albums in gift and hobby shops.
