Fill in the Blanks Token. SOLVED

This is pretty rough because it's plated zinc token. About the size of a modern nickle. Rang up like a zinc penny. Still soaking but this is where I'm at so far. Clearly for something in Phoenix Arizona. Anyone good at wheel of fortune? Want to guess? Or offer suggestions on iding this? I'll post an update if I get more letters off it. Back side is worse.

Wow I'm impressed thank you plug and play! It's slowly cleaning up. 3rd token at this location. Yielded a 1752 one reale as well a few weeks ago.
