Nice find... What's on the reverse side? I have found many aluminum tokens/game pieces, mostly from Shell Oil from the 60's/70's.

The reverse is identical

Try spinning it to see if you can read the printed part. May be a spinner with a message. Let me know what you find out.

Good deduction Loco, but if both sides are the same and in the same orientation (head faces same direction) then it will look the same, I think.

This language/ writing is not Greek or Latin, best I can make. There are only 15 of the 26 letters of the modern alphabet represented on the token, not seeing 11 of them, i.e., B H J K L Q U W X Y Z. I think this token is encrypted and the letters that are on it are in a sequence known to the owner, possibly a member of a secret society or fraternity.

Any cryptologists out there to solve the mystery? Sub
