It's hard times token with Andrew Jackson inside a trunk holding a sword and a moneybag. One side says I TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY. The other side says THE CONSTITUTION AS I UNDERSTAND IT, ROMAN FIRMNESS, VETO, on the side of a donkey. I think it was made in the 1830's. Nice find

Knew as I read your description of the coin/medal that there would be no picture. But, almost impossible to
i.d. without a pic. Give us a look-see, and we'll do our best.
