Guatemala Ranch Token, Costa Cuca- Can anyone further identify?

I have this token from Guatemala:

Guatemala-Token-Costa-Cuca---Can-Anyone-Identify-/-Date?

Guatemala Ranch Token
The same legend is on both sides:
SAN CARLOS MIRAMAR / J.M. MOLINA / COSTA CUCA
Size about 15mm

Can anyone identify it further and possibly give a date or time span that it was made?

Rulau's Latin American Tokens has similar tokens listed from the Quezaltenango Department. J. Mariano Molina is the issuer. These tokens are denominated as 1, 2, 3, or 4. They are 24-31mm in Dia. Those have cat. #'s of Quz 17-21. Hope that helps some.

@willie, it's years too late, but I know that you still poke your head into CCF occasionally. I wonder if you ever got a date on this token--if so, please add that info to this thread so that I can close it out.

I dug around and found a publication of farm tokens by Iriarte, "Fichas de Fincas y miscelaneas de guatemala". I think the screen shot below is your token, but sadly I'm not seeing a date range in the notes. I note that other similar pieces date back to the 1920s, but I hesitate to place the same date on your token.
