Token or Coin?

Hello,

Can anybody icentiy this. The Obverse side depicts the Statue of Liberty and at the top the word LIBERTY ISLAND N. Y. and at the background is I supposed New York itself.
At the Reverse side, following is inscribed "Give me your tired, your poor,your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refused of your teeming shore send these the homeless, the tempest tost to me I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door".
Its almost as big of a walking liberty Half dollar and it does not attract to a magnet.

Can't really see the picture but I would say neither coin or token, it would appear to be some sort of souvenir medal.

What's on the back was written by Emma Lazarus and is inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty. Looks like you found yourself a souveneir of someone's trip to see the great lady of NY harbor.

Could be a commemorative coin, like those sold by the Franklin Mint. They're usually .999 silver and about sd size.
