This has the standard pattern from the Roger Williams Mint (RWM) of the Eagle & Shield surrounded by 20 stars. It is the 1 inch diameter size, slightly larger than a quarter...Made of Brass. Can anyone identify the alaphabet or language used on the other side. What does it say? Where is it from? Dug in a Houston front yard. The "RWM" mint mark is below the eagle.

I haven't been able to locate your token die combination but that design is imitating a Jewish / Hebrew shekel.
