Tavern" along the top with "1918" in the center and "Frederick Ave." at the bottom, suggesting it might have been used as a trade token or souvenir for a tavern located on Frederick Avenue, issued in the year 1918. The surface of the token is worn and has a textured appearance with various spots of discoloration, possibly due to age and exposure to elements over time, giving it a historical and vintage feel that hints at its journey through history.
