Found this yesterday detecting and have no clue what it is.Could it be a trade token,done a little research online and it could be from the 1950's really don't know! Found it while looking for coins in a old school yard in Tennessee.
Your token may be alot older than the 1950s. Apparently, Hopkins Amusement Company landed in heap of legal hot water around 1903:

If this is the same company, the last time it was registered was in 1910:

I believe what I have is a Hopkins Amusement Co. 50cent trade token with A.B. Munson manager stamped on the back of it.
