What is the function and significance of this "House Office Bldg. 6" token? Is there some special significance?

The last image in Business Insider's 12 Republicans voted against giving medals to Capitol police officers, 2 of whom died after the insurrection is that of US House of Representatives member John Rose (R-TN).

The way that the token is held up prominently in one hand and pointed to by the other combined with the facial expression which seems to project some kind of wide-eyed pleasant satisfaction suggests that this object has some function or at least some significance.

Does it?

It is perhaps a 3 to 3.5 cm diameter white circular token, and written around the edge it says HOUSE OFFICE BLDG. with the additional numeral 6 displayed large and prominently in the center.
