I agree it's a cool token. Congrats on swinging your coil over it.

Excelsior made these tokens in conjuction with the beginning of the Boy Scout movement in 1910 to be included in any new pair of shoes that a Boy Scout purchased. The hole is normal, and was used to attach it to the shoes.

The Excelsior shoe company had made a variety of those tokens,starting in 1910 when the Boy Scouts were founded. I have found four different types all dated 1910. The ONE pictured here is I believe the first version. All cool and a neat find there.
