It's this token from a 1996 Star Wars monopoly game.
http://www.jezuss.nl/st/star-wars.htm#1996

Translation is:

imperial credits
coruscant

The language is Galactic Basic Standard (Aurebesh)

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.

Quote from C-3PO
"Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease. "


Hopefully any aliens that we meet on our journeys through the universe will be a little more friendly!

I found another token from the planet Ord Mantell, which is mentioned in the Trilogy. One more token and I'll be able to trekkie the Universe
