As a complete guess I would say it is some sort of shift pattern token for 7 groups

Probably a decoder token, possibly from an old radio program, all though those generally have the name or lettering and date on them. Could also be from one of the fraternal groups used in their secret rituals, meeting notices. Some of the fraternal groups didn't include their names or initials. As Rose Croix, Rebekkah, De Molay.

I believe Circus is dead on. I have 2 decoders, sometimes called decypherers.
Mine are for Morse code. This is a curious example. Fraternal makes sense.
We could tell you, but we'de have to kill you.

Stumbled upon this, from a website on Indian astrology:

Quote:
Next comes the vital hour cycle in the lotus theory. The time of birth determinesthe vital hour cycle which is also under the influene of any one of the 7planets. The vital hour is fixed and does not change. And it does notcorrespond exactly to the Hora system followed in astrology. In this theory 24hours of the day is divided by 7 planets and each planets shares a duration of3 hours 25 minutes. Rahu and Ketu are excluded in this system.
From midnight to 3.25 A.M. Moon vital hour
From 3.25 A.M. to 6.51 A.M is Mercury vital
From 6.51 A.M. to 10.17 A.M. is Venus vital hour
From 10.17 A.M. to 1.42 P.M. is Sun vital hour
From 1.42 P.M. to 5.08 P.M. is Mars vital hour
From 5.08 P.M. to 8.34 P.M. is Jupiter vital hour
From 8.34 P.M. to midnight is Saturn vital hour
In this way every person is under the influence of two major planets. One planetdetermines the planetary constitution by the day of birth and the second planetis determined by the time of birth. The second planet is called the vital hourplanet. Both day of birth and time of birth are essential for astrologicalwork. Similarly in lotus theory also the day and time of birth indicate theplanets under whose influence a native will lead his life.

All the exact times depicted on the obverse of this coin. Would start searching for Vedic astrological calculator tokens.

One company made this coin - Whitehead and Hoag Company, yours may not be by them. Here is another picture

It is a Cycles of life indicator coin.

Check out the book by Harvey Spencer Lewis, 'Self-Mastery and Fate with Cycles of Life if you want to know more.

Can someone please help with my problem! lol
