Medal or Medallion thingy?

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I found this medal or medallion while detecting in Corvallis Oregon yesterday. It's is kinda big ~ 35 mm in diameter. The front has an image of an Indian Head, and reads, "FIRST AMERICAN INSURANCE CO., P.O. BOX 1965, SALEM OREGON". And the back side has an image of wheat stocks and crossed arrows. The middle is an open area that looks like something should be ingraved there, or something? Anyone ever seen one of these before? How old is it? What were they used for?

THANKS!
Neil
