You have an advertising token, issued by General Motors to promote its Pontiac line of automobiles. ( c. mid 1950's?). Tokens like this were a way of keeping the advertisers message at hand. They were given out freely and people used them as pocket pieces, holed them for keyrings but never threw them away.

Advertising tokens, medals and other items like this that are not official money go under the heading of "exonumia". Collectors enjoy these pieces as they often have an interesting story. Approximate value range, depending on condition: $3- $15.
