Military token [solved]

5 posts • viewed 98 times

I have searched the internet with very limited success. I have found similar tokens in different denominations(5¢ and 25¢) for sale on eBay (in much worse conditions) for remarkable amounts(80-200$!). But very little information is available. Best information is that this was a token used by MARINE AIRCRAFT WING OKINAWA JAPAN, but also used during the Vietnam war (in DaNang?) 

Any information?

Both sides identical. 18mm.

Health problems have interfered but I am back!

This one is actually part of another set. E is for Enlisted, O is for Officer, S is for Staff. And some of them do or do not have the S in a diamond.
