Civil War 1863 Token with carving on the coin's reverse side

Description

1863 Civil War Token with nautical carving on the coin's reverse side.  This evidently began as a New York City Staudinger Union Shield 1863 Civil War token.  But, here's the rub.  The reverse has been smoothed and etchings or hand engraving has been applied to minutely depict a horse, a rampant dragon with a sword, an anchor, a center X crossed by either a hatchet or line intersecting a triangle,  then there is a small sailing ship, and the other device is either a perched eagle or a bear claw, undecided.  This is an intriguing item.  Is it the work of a bored Civil War sailor, or perhaps an ID disc from a secret society, or a piece of Native American art.  Attic find in coastal South Carolina, formerly on display in the nautical section of the South Carolina Civil War Museum.
