Sugar Plantation Token ?

Identification required please....

A old token about 24mm diameter (from memory), Brass.

First side "5" centrally with arched "INGENIO LA BENITA" above and arched
"MARAGLIANO" below.

Second side a fairly fancy coat of arms.

The only clue I have upto now is that an internet search found somewhere for
me a piece with some similar legends and it was said to be from a Cuban
sugar plantation (no illustration given).

Grade was around Very Fine.

I saw a letter at about the 7 o'clock position and one about the 5 o'clock
position but without a magnifier I could not make them out.

Approximate value ?

Thanks Mr Paul Baker
