This is one of a group of game counters produced by Ludwig Christian Lauer in Nuremburg, Germany in the mid to late 1860's. The image of Washington is based on an 1817 print by Giuseppe Longhi know in Germany through a copy engraved by G.G. Felsing in 1824. The Latin motto on the reverse translates as "Strength in unity"
There are many varieties of this token.

Cool find.... one to get your heart going I'm sure. Half the fun is the rush, even if it doesn't turn out to be something crazy rare.

That place is Still producing? You have had at least 4 or 5 people besides yourself there? I would imagine right now would be the best time to give it a try too. Less traffic through it.
