What does "The other token granted the proposer five of six rewards" mean?

Does "six rewards" refer to "six banana slices (for chimps, or six stickers for kids)"?

Context:
Her group studied six adult chimps at an outdoor research facility and 20 preschool children ages 2 to 7. Four pairs of chimps and 10 pairs of kids played a modified ultimatum game, in which a proposer can offer one of two tokens to a receiver. Accepted tokens got handed to an experimenter in exchange for rewards. One token represented an even split of six banana slices (for the chimps) or of six stickers (for the children). The other token granted the proposer five of six rewards.
