Not a coin; maybe a game (gambling) piece or 'good for' token

Trolley or bus token!

I agree... I would think a merchant's token, a gambling token or a transportation token would have the vendor's name on it - somehow.

...but... made of brass?

Maybe Poker Chip?

Thats a poker chip. Years ago the lower denominations were made of clay, and the larger denoms were copper, brass, etc.
