I found this "what is it" recently, and tossed it in my pouch thinking it was a penny with a hole drilled in it. (should have been wearing my glasses). As I went through some stuff today, I see that it is some sort of coin or token that I'm not familiar with. It's bent a little bit, making it difficult to take a good picture. But as you can see, this side has the letters R O Y A L, preceded by a couple letters I can't quite make out. Between the letters and the date at the bottom (I think it is 1870) there are two five-pointed stars near each rim. In the center, around the hole, there are a series of 3 five-pointed stars at both the top and bottom, with a diamond between them on each side.
Nothing is visible on the other side, except for a raised bar that runs completely across the coin. (other than where the hole is located). The hole does not look to be drilled, but punched. And the item has a reeded edge. I would suspect it is a token. But I seldom find tokens with dates or a reeded edge. The stars and lettering make me think it is US. But I honestly have no clue! If anyone has an idea as to what this is, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance. HH Randy

Some early responses indicate it might be related to UniRoyal, founded in 1870. Any additional information is appreciated. HH Randy
 
I looked through here but couldn't find it. Cool site though. Good luck.
