Some more info.
This Civil War Token, Fuld Lists It As An OH165N-9a. It was struck for DR. Bennett's, pharmaceutical manufacturer, in Cincinnati, Ohio. There are only a handful of Civil War pharmaceutical medicines and makers in the entire store-card series. DR. Bennett's was one of the first of the patent medicine makers in the United States. Patent medicine were long on alcohol content and little else.

TC-272990 *** During the Civil War (1861-65) the public hoarded all the government issued coins for their bullion value (even the lowly cents). Merchants had to make change with postage stamps, paper script, and private tokens like this one.
