The image depicts a vintage token or coin that features an embossed design showcasing an umbrella in the center. Encircling the umbrella are the engraved words: "H. CROSSMAN" at the top, "MANUFACTURER" and "No. 921" on either side of the umbrella handle, and likely an address "CHATHAM S N Y" along the bottom. The coin or token appears to have a bronze or copper color and is likely associated with a historical company or manufacturer, possibly relating to umbrellas, given the imagery and inscriptions present on its surface. The overall design has a worn and antique appearance, which suggests its significance might be rooted in historical or collectible contexts.
