A FREE DRINK

[ole_grisley]

I found This here in Williamsport Pa in my back yard. the house was here in 1893 and I am about 5 blocks from a Indian Massacure site. it appears to be brass or maybe copper? about 2 quarters in thickness and the same size as a quarter.
one side says A FREE DRINK and n or h b cibbard Springfield Mass. The other side says Who So Ever Will Let Him Take The Water Of Life Freely.
Maybe some one on here knows something about these tokens as I can not find any info. it is a thin layer on each side and an other material in side of it but I am not sure what.
