I found this possible token in the yard of a home built in the early 1920's, in a small logging town in CA. Wheat cents found in the same yard dated as early as 1921.
The token is very slightly larger in diameter than a nickel (see pics), and a bit thicker. It appears to be made of a copper/nickel alloy.
Obverse and Reverse are identical. I can read the following: In the center, it says "3ii". Around the edge, it reads "Two Drachms" and "H Troemner Phila".
Any help with an id would be most appreciated.

You got me there. 
I jumped the gun and posted because a google search has NEVER helped me figure out any of my own unknown tokens! I had found it listed at tokencatalog.com, but no information was given about the use or the period when these would have been made.
You can waste all day on google sometimes. But now you can "Let Me Google That For You" somebody else.
