1905 Lewis & Clark Token

I was detecting in my yard tonight and found a 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial souvenir token. It is about the size of a silver dollar and appears to be made of copper. On one side it has a picture of Lewis, Clark and Sack uh juh weeah looking at the pacific ocean and reads "Official Souvenir Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition June-October 1905. The other side is kinda crusty and appears to have a map the date 1905 and some more writing around the perimeter.This is my coolest find yet. Anyone know anything about these things?

Thanks everyone for your support and information. Say, does anyone have the book that tells what this thing might be worth? Just curious. I will always keep it as it is my first really good find and pass it on to my Daughter someday.

prb, you were talking about some writing on the perimiter. This is a little different writing but you might look at this.

Got the "So-Called Dollar" cleaned up. Looks like it is one of the gold plated ones. Thought you may want to see how it looks.
