Default Need Help With Identificataion Again !!!

I went to a yard I had good luck wit in the past. Found a few wheaties in the front and a play dime. Then I went in the backyard where I believe an old store had stood at on time, Probally in the late 1800's to early 1900's since I've found barbers and indians in the past I knew it had to be an old store, Even dug some old burnt boards with copper nails. Went back knowing whatever is there will be deep. Sore wrist and all, Bottom line is I've got a small window to work with, The ground is moist now. When summer gets here and it's 111 degree's the clay is like baked brick. Anyway, I have confirmed that a store did sit there at one time, Within a 10 Foot radius, I dug three identicle trade tokens, All GOOD FOR 25 C IN TRADE, Each numbered 2222. Alot of merchants had tokens just numbered for their own mercantile's or business. Here's what I need help with, A medal that has THE O K LINE McCORMICK LINE OK ALL OVER THE WORLD, It's a little larger than a quarter and it's brass It also appears to be stamped over a globe or map of maybe South America??? HELP !!!!
