Wondering if anyone knows the origins of this token or is able to translate. It's aluminum. Guessing the figure is Confucius, or maybe Lao Tzu or a God. I haven't been able to find quite comparable images

No. He isn't Confucius. He is Du Fu a poet. This is a souvenir  token from a Chengdu museum.

 

More about the museum can be found in the URL below. 

 

杜甫草堂 translated as “Du Fu Thatched Cottage”

The page is in Mandarin but can be translated to English. Hope it helps.
