According to Znaki i Zhetonyi Rossiyskovo Flota by Volkovskiy, this is a zheton for graduates from the Ship Constructio course at Severniy (Northern) Shipyard.

This inscription reads "1st Graduating Class Shk. Sh U M P. (a particular school or course?, Northern Shipyard, I.I. Kulakov, Jan 20 1931"

[Nota Bene]

SHUMP - Shturmani Morskogo Parakhodstava? or Navigators of the Merchant Fleet?
