Military?

Hi again everyone. I haven’t been out much since moving about a year ago, but got out yesterday. I found this small disc in an old (late 1860s) military camp. It has S.T. Suttler 25.C stamped on it. As you can see it is a little bigger than a dime and is very thin. Back side is smooth. I also found some bullet brass with F.V.V & Co on it that I found online and dated to 1865-1868. And a two ring fired bullet. Can anyone help to identify the disc, and maybe the two ring bullet too. Thank you!

Anybody got an id on that sutler token?
 
I couldn't find anything on it in my limited references. Maybe the OP could contact the folks at token catalog and see what they have to say.

Thank you, I will give that a try
 
There is an S. T. Sutler token listed on the NGC Coin Explorer website as a civil war sutler token, but there is no picture or information. There seems to be quite a bit of information on google about civil war sutler tokens. You might also try posting this on the Findmall Civil War Forum. My guess is that it is either a civil war sutler pay token or a pickers check.
 
I have an update on my ST Sutler token. According to a local coin and Arizona colectable dealer it is a Samuel Todd token. Todd was the sutler for Fort Mohave in Arizona from 1857 to I think 1869. It came in 3 denominational varieties. The token is one of the oldest known tokens to be from Arizona and is very desirable to Arizona collectors. He said it is worth $2000-$3000. He offered me $2000 for it sight unseen. I was in such shock I actually asked him if he was kidding.
