William Henry Harrison Commemorative Token

This is a circular commemorative numismatic item produced in a copper-toned or bronze-toned metal alloy. The obverse features a high-relief profile portrait of William Henry Harrison, the 9th President of the United States. Surrounding the figure are several etched inscriptions: '9TH PRESIDENT U.S.A.' at the top curve, '1841' on the left side, 'DIED' on the right side, and 'WM HENRY HARRISON' along the bottom edge. These markings specifically denote his brief presidential term and year of death. The piece exhibits a noticeable aged patina with some darkening of the metal in the recessed areas, which serves to emphasize the sculptural details of the portrait. Some surface scratches and minor rim dings are visible, consistent with handling. Based on the style and typography, this appears to be a mid-to-late 20th-century commemorative token, possibly part of a presidential series issued by a private mint or Shell Oil's 'States of the Union' or 'Presidential' game coin collections. The craftsmanship shows standard commercial quality for commemorative strikes rather than government-issued currency.
