Mystery coin - What is it?

[Ifyndit]

A friend of mine found this coin in a box containing other items. Neither of us have found any information regarding this coin. Anyone know what it is? Value? I forgot to ask what size the coin is. I think it is quarter to half size.

Nice mystery coin. All I can provide is , the creature and the symbol signify the astrology sign of Capricorn.

Apparently, since Mr. "Stuart V. Hinson" no longer has possession of this token, he is now broke; perhaps because of his marriage that is noted here: http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs&gsfn=Patricia E&gsln=Steers&gss=seo&ghc=20
If you are, or wish to become, a member of Ancestry.com, you can look up information on this man's wedding in Vegas. And since, I'm guessing, you found this token in the West, this SVH may be the guy who lost it.

Is it silver, as marked?

Here's a similar one: Current bid: $0.99.

And another being sold for about $3.50. http://cgi.ebay.com/1971-100-GRAINS...3295595QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
I'll guess that a private mint offered these tokens in 1971 and, as a perk, allowed the buyer to 'personalize' the reverse with whatever words he/she wanted.

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

To answer a few questions, yes, it is silver and it is the size of a quarter.
