The image shows a round coin-like token. The token is metallic and displays stamped text which reads "CHAS. F. SCHMIDT" at the top, with the numbers "905" prominently in the center. Below this number, the text "FREDERIC AVE." is also visible. Surrounding the inscribed text on the token are small evenly spaced dots, forming a border near the edge. This item appears to be a custom token, perhaps used historically for transactions or identification purposes at a specific address or establishment associated with the name and location inscribed. The metal has a slightly worn appearance, indicating age or frequent handling.
