COUPLE PIECES MY BUDDY FOUND NEED HELP ID'ING

found at an old house site, where i have found items from the early 19402 to the civil war, as you can see with the square piece which seems as though it may be copper, its around the same size as a dime (dime for scale), can anyone give me your thoughts on what it is and what the word carved in it says, there is also a number on the backside (pic of that as well), and what looks to be a world war 1 era dog tag, name looks to say jon koep in the middle A.D.C. i believe it says, then USA at the bottom, appreciate any help, thanks

Pretty sure the disk is a WWI era soldiers I.D. tag. Here is picture of my Great Grand fathers tags, front and back. I think they may be aluminum.

That does look like a WWI era dog tag. There are guys on this forum who have had great success at returning tags to next of kin. But they would need a much better picture of the tag to work with.

Nice find on the apothecary weight as well!
