Medal or medalette depending on the size, but not a token.

Medal - 1000 years of Russia, 1862, Alexander II, design by I. Chukmasov, can't say if it's real, not really much info on the internet.

Small correction - "In recollection of events coinciding with the 1000th anniversary of Russia." (more or less direct translation). All the wording radiating from the crown on the obverse appear to list these achievements/events.
