I searched for a while and learned some stuff (nothing useful here), but made no progress in figuring the thing out. Of note:
The "ladder" has points at each end and is intentionally broken above the letter C.
1690 at the bottom has to be a date, and given the coin, has to be an origin date of whatever this represents. I couldn't find anything concerning that date.
CHF is most likely the initials of a person, especially given that the token is hand-carved. If it is the acronym of an institution, it may be too old and short-lived to make the accessible record.
The "snake and sword" may, indeed, be the Rod of Asclepius. In that case, it would represent the medical profession in some way, or healing in general.
For me, the "2 1/2" throws things off. That almost guarantees that it is a denomination of some sort, be it token value or not. That implies it is intended to be used at a certain venue. What venue was that?
I think the key is figuring out what the broken ladder with CHF means.
