It's a civil war token
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_token

late edit: I looked a bit further into this.
1863 Capped Liberty / Our Army
It is one of the more common Patriotic Civil War Tokens
The catalog number is Fuld 332 Die 45 or Fuld 45/332
Die ascribed to Charles Horter

I think it's safe to say ...
Yours's is in rough shape with decent detail to easily identify and definitely in the $10 or less range in value.

Nice piece to have. Hope it struck an interest in these. There are also what's called Store Cards (similar "coins" bearing a patriotic theme), not to be confused. Both were used in business transactions throughout the north between 1862 and 1865. You could build a very nice set since there are many to choose from.
