HT is Hard times. They should have said HTT, which stands for Hard Times Token. The "Hard Times" era was during, and just after President Jackson's term, the economy was much like it is today, so private Mints filled the coin shortage with tokens like this one, most of which had political sayings. Note the 1837 date, which dates it to the hard times era.
 Ask ANYTHING you want, that's how we learn! :)

That's a very nice traders' currency token that you have got there.
