The symbol in your image is the
Chinese character for "Long Life" or "Longevity" (寿, Shou), rendered in a highly stylized seal script (Zhuanshu).
This specific object is likely one half of a traditional two-piece metal belt buckle, often referred to as a "sash buckle" or sometimes a "nurse's belt buckle" in antique collections.

I like that hard times token. I also have an 1837 attributed to President Andrew Jackson but it's a different one than yours.
