This is a token, not a coin; redeemable at the company's store.
Don....
Yes, you are right it is a token ( ficha), Minted by two brother owners of a mine in Uruachic town, in Chihuahua state.

For getting a T-shirt made with an image of that token on it, try CustomInk.com.

I would like to print in a T shirt, I would order around 20, any idea on printing suppliers??
Very Cool!!!! Congrats!!!!
 

the denomination ... twelve and a half... has an interesting history in the U.S. 12 1/2 is a "bit" as in half a quarter which is also known as "2 bits". It was an attempt to cut the Mexican (Spanish) dollar (Real) into smaller usable parts. The Real was widely used in the U.S. and was divisible by 8 and not 10. As a token this denomination was also often the price of a drink at a saloon. I am not sure how it fits in with Mexican use.
