Found this on my last hunt

[cudamark]

Found on a site where I've recovered 100+ year old items in the past. Same on both sides. I looked through the tokens on tokencatalog.com and see several that are like it, but, this one is in white metal and measures 17mm according to my measuring device. Most of the others listed are brass and 21mm. I'm convinced it's a Kansas City transportation token, but, I can't seem to find out when it was used. I see a 1/2 fare token on ebay the same size that they claim is 1917 and in white metal, but, this is a full fare version. Anyone know a good source to confirm the year(s) it was used?

According to the Smithsonian, it dates from the early 1900s, but I didn't see a specific year.
