Looks like a token or a silver round...most of the time they are sold for a few cents over face value...

As for a story...I have no idea...

PS--the date is 1769-1969 (I think) maybe at some show for CAL they did this since it had been 200 years...BUT how could it be 1769 when the USA was founded in 1776

 

Thanks Speedy...

My Father in Law just came over and gave it to my Son..I have no idea. and not to interested in it..just thought I would post uit a see if anyone knew anything.. Thanks!

 

I looked online a little and found that Ken Potter has one on his wedsite...
