This piece reminds me a little bit of a patriotic token but because it doesn't have a readable date I am having problems identifying. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the diameter and weight? Unless it is the same size as a period CuNi IHC, then is it most likely not a Civil War token.

The diameter is 28.5 mm and the weight is 3 grams. Thanks for your interest!

Correction and I apologize the diameter is 22.25 mm. Weigh stays the same. Conversion was off

I love these part of the forums. I try to research every coin or medal posted in here (except the ancients) but your item has me stumped. There is not enough for me to find a lead except for the bottom pic with what appears to be two crossed flowers?
The reeding also doesn't look right for a patriotic token. I can be wrong.
I'd love to find out what this is.

I'm not certain why, but the design reminds me of some of the Confederate issue Civil War tokens, often referred to as "Wealth of the South tokens".
