I found this coin and haven't been able to find another like it during research. I know the confederate states of America never minted any $20 coins in 1862, possibly only discussed it (unless you believe the rumor mill). That leads me to believe it was possibly just a token handed out during some CSA reenactment. You should be able to see the dimensions on the pics but i will leave them here as well.
Weight: 10.65 grams - Dia: 31.50mm/31.75mm - Thick: 1.75mm-2.00mm
If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know.
Thanks!

It is a fantasy piece and there's several other denominations. I have owned a few and they're worth a few dollars each to those that are interested.
