George Washington " temperance socicity " silver token

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Hello all hope your swinging in this warm weather
Today I got out to a site we have been pounding
It's given up a lot of firsts for me.
Today's no different.
I pulled this little beauty with the deus today
It says. " Washington temperance benolovent socicity "
The back says " we serve the tyrant alcohol no longer "

The first AA coin or token I'm guessing
I've done no research yet so I do not really know about it.
Any info would be great thanks for looking hh gl

I can't quite make out the word right under the bust of Washington, the other example pictured does not seem to show that ? Great find !

Great job saving that beauty.

Very cool find Charlie. As far as tokens go, a silver token from ~1830's is a home run.
