It looks like a 10c token is known, confirming my hunch that this was a billiard hall token:...
The dates on the dies back then were set by hand. So, it's entirely possible that not all of the 2's would look the same. That said, I agree -...
I have a similar piece. Oddly, the Whitehead & Hoag stamp is in a different location on the back. It appears to be gilt, with the gilding wearing...

It looks like a 2 Pai (20mm). But that gave me the info I needed to find it. Thanks!
