I looked up what I could find, Greenduck Co. Chicago, when it is one word "greenduck" it is older, two words "green duck" it is newer. I found it metal detecting other day in a yard hunt not far from clothesline. Can anyone else find any info about this particular token/coin. The token has a pig head/tail on it and was made by the Greenduck Co. of Chicago. Head side says flipping-spinning, head N tail, you pay, with a big arrow through the pig. Tail side has a raised curly tail, coins-buttons-badges, along top, then along bottom, Greenduck Co Chicago.

 

The Greenduck company made stamped metal advertising novelties like this spinner/flipper plus thousands of other pins, buttons, tokens, fobs, etc. for decades. This particular one was probably a give-away they used to show potential customers an example of their product line. Ones with the pig theme could be customized to carry customer-specific wording.
