Actually, it looks like there might be some writing on the reverse, but I can't make it out.

Looks like it might be a Jas. Murdock reverse. You might compare yours to the reverse of the H. Bender token listed on tokencatalog under Cincinnati.

I'm sure that's it. Even the obverse lettering is really similar. Thanks, Tokensmith!

Great! There are only a few attributed tokens with that reverse but they all seem to be in the 1880's. If you know anyone that can search the 1880 census it might give you a lead or two.
