Something else: I think if you were going to make a bar token you’d want something easy to carry around in your pocket. This is 24.3mm in diameter.
-
Also the flans on the scalloped edge suggest it was minted this way and not cut.
-
There are also 13 points to the scalloped edge potentially representing the 13 colonies
-
First I thought maybe a bar token but the eight dots threw me. 25 does not dived by 8 evenly.

So I’m not sure but I know Franklin wanted to equate barrels of wheat to currency. The eight dots on the tea mug I believe represent the original 8 revolting colonies. All American coins were required to have an eagle on the reverse.

Just look up worthington steel you’ll get the idea
-
I mean the guy in the photo, put a wig on him and call him Washington. And what do you need for a good ploughing? Strong steel.
-
May be that that’s Washington’s private citizen name I mean they are one of the largest steel manufacturers in the world similar to the carnegies of old

Society of the Cincinnati.... Ohio much?
-
I suppose it’s possible Washington wanted to retire under a pseudonym. William worthington and William Washington were born the same year, history is only what we write in the books right?
-
Also notice the outdated g serif characteristic of the Franklin press.
-
Where is the cal coin though you gave me a wiki link to cal worthington s life, no coin.

We can ride out to the darkness chasing the rising sun

Are worthington and Washington synonymous?
-
Can you show me the link?

They used to mint unofficial coins using peeled wax to remove the hot metal shell I believe.

I found this about the star spangled banner: I guess worthington was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and also a constable of Ohio. Ohio had a tough time accepting currency and wanted theirs to be unique.
