My guess would be a token. Brass? Could be some kind of store token but I don't think it's of American origin.

I was about to go hunting through the forum archive for an older thread with a similar pic... then I realized that this was the older thread...

And I'm still clueless about it. At first I thought that the lettering on the back might be D Shl L, some kind of abbreviation for pounds-shillings-pence, and the capital L is definitely trying to be a pound sign £, but DSL is the "wrong way around" from the usual abbreviation, LSD.

The pound-shaped letter L puts it in the British / Colonial sphere, but beyond that I can't say.

I will stick my neck out. I say it's a jeton. It looks rather crude, so I will guess 18th century.

That "L" could also be a "Z". This for example is the logo of a "yellow" paper from Berlin: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:B.Z..svg
So ... BZ, then S, and then (in smaller characters) HL, I think. And yes, I know this does not really help. ;)

I don't know. Pretty cool looking though! Would fit right in to my "No idea" collection!
