This is one of many membership tokens issued by the Woodmen of the World, a fraternal insurance-benefit society founded by Joseph Cullen Root in Omaha, Nebraska on June 6, 1890, and still in existence today. Their motto, Dum Tacet Clamat, is Latin for, "Though silent, he speaks." Like the so-called pennies of other fraternal orders, these were not intended for use in trade, but simply as pocket pieces. Some bear the phrase Coin Test, referring to the Woodmen's practice of showing them to one another as proof of membership. Yours is one of the earlier varieties and worth $5 or more, depending on condition.
