I have a feeling that the 112 has a meaning instead of a series.
Looks like a trade token.
American Legion Post 112 is in Ontario, California. You might ask them. I suspect they can help you with information.
I was confused, because when I looked..there seemed to be several post 112s.
There should be a post 112 in almost every state. Some have been consolidated in with other post and some just plain closed up because of a lack of members.
Anybody know the significance of the 112 ?
Probably fairly early in the organizations existence-- I'd think pre- WW2.
Probably for use in their post bar and restaurant. Wonder how many beers you could get for the token!

From what I have read the legion put the post number on one side and the value on the other side. Therefore this would be Post 112. I agree with scottvez that it is an early coin. You can find oodles of them for sale on eBay.
Aw shucks,,, maybe theyll give me a couple bottles of Budweiser for it
