I wasn't able to find anything about this specific item, but it's an example of what's called a Civil War token. Many different designs were privately issued as a way to counter a shortage of small coins during the Civil War. Some look very similar to Indian Head cents, while others have slogans and/or images of other famous people such as Ben Franklin. Nearly all of them bore the word "NOT" near the "one cent" denomination, presumably so their manufacturers couldn't be accused of counterfeiting.

Auction prices of similar tokens run in the $20 to $60 range, so it would definitely be worth taking your token to an appraiser who specializes in Civil War collectibles.
