What is it?

Any ideas what this is? I know the dates are from the civil war period, commemorative coin or medal perhaps?

It might be a GAR reunion or memorial token.

Can you give us a full view of the front and back?

The coin/token's front shows a (yankee) civil war soldier and sailor shaking hands... and I can see the final part of the word "SAILORS" on its other side. So, I think it is a commemorative coin/token for a yankee civil war "Soldiers And Sailors" monument/memorial. Click on the link below for an example of such a memorial.

Various states and cities have them. You might find a match-up for your coin/token by google-searching for civil war Soldiers And Sailors monuments/memorials.
