Anyone good with tokens? Solved!

[ynpto804]

Dug this token in area that saw a ton of action from both sides during the war of Northern Aggression. I put a little talcum powder to bring out the details. It looks to me like a shield with a eagle over it on one side and the back(or front) looks like a man sitting in a funny hat maybe. I have no ideas about this other that I think its a token.

Thanks for the help in advance and for looking

Looks as if it might be a 5 centavos coin of the Philippines during U.S. sovereignty.

Good catch, Jeff !!
It's either a 1C or 5C coin.
The one centavo is 24 mm in dia.; the five centavo is 19mm in dia.

Well that didn't take long! Thanks a lot for figuring it out. It would have taken me forever.

Merry Christmas
