I'm hoping someone out there can identify this coin. It doesn't have any profiles of people on it, but it does have some symbols.

Searching Masonic tokens/pennies with the ark of the covenant, which I take the obverse to represent, brings up things like this:

Nailed another one, Bob! Now this one is in pretty rough shape, needs some conservation to get rid of the bronze disease(verdigris) and won't command the value as indicated in sales posting, more like $5 as is, max.

It is my understanding that these pennies are made for the Mark Masons, who use them in their rituals. At one point, a Mark Mason is expected to invent a "mark" or symbol for themselves and then take one of these pennies and engrave their "mark" on the blank circular space in the centre of the keystone. That penny then functions as that person's ID badge within the Order.

That is why these pennies can come in two varieties, "marked" and "unmarked".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
