Soldier in Camp
At first glance, this dime-sized brass disk looks much like one of the Civil War money substitutes. But the blank reverse was a puzzle until I stumbled upon this other medalion that indicates its true nature was that of a religious medal for soldiers. On the example above the lettering on the back has worn off.
