“5” token help

[relicmeister]

Went to a fishing hole today and other than a couple of lures and some bullets and a clad quarter, the keeper find was this interesting nickel sized token. It has an 1800s style numeral 5 on both sides but nothing else. Has anyone seen a similar type of token? And know what they represent?
