I appreciate this item very much. Though the origin is unknown to me as well, I can tell you what I do know(I had a token with the exact same obverse;my token reverse was very different) the bridge is "The Golden Gate Bridge,and the U.S. Capital is Depicted to the left of the U.S. Treasury(on the right).
When I contemplated the coin/token I had,I could start to see how one might see(a marvel of art)the Statue of Liberty(in NY)then on to see the(govenment) U.S.Capital and U.S.Treasury(in D.C.)then out west to see(the greatest bridge span of the world)The Golden Gate Bridge" (sorry if it sounds as if I am stessing that it is the Golden Gate but if it weren't the cion would only depict two places in D.C. and two in NY...in closing I am very glad to see there has been other types of Token?/Medal?/Coin? made for whatever reason, my coin was stolen from my possesion when my car was robbed of my jacket wallet and radio, oh well the search continues for my "good luck souviner"that is what my reverse read(with six stars on each side in the margin) with a horseshoe and wishbone in the center with a large star flanked by two smaller stars. Of course this may be hard to imagine so I will draw it,to post it so that I may have others help me search for one like it. Thank you even seeing a similar obverse coin is a great day for me.
