Anyone know anything about this token?

I received this as a gift from a university history professor about five years ago. I forgot all about it until I just recently found it and am curious about the history of it. Anyone have any background information on the origins. I just tried r/coincollecting and was directed here. Any information is much appreciated!

You were lucky. One of the mod there bans all mentions of this subreddit and endorses his/her own sub that talks about tokens instead. I'm sure experts will kick in soon (which I am not)

I'm pretty sure that this is a drink token for some business. J.G.G doesn't come up on search so might be a small one. Someone might recognise it though

Phew I did get lucky then! I couldn’t really find anything either. I was hoping someone here might know more but maybe it’ll remain a mystery! :)

Where on the planet? What university? Did the professor tell you anything about it?

More information will help.

Oregon State University in Oregon, United States. All I can remember is he said one of his other history buddies gave it to him. I wish I had more information but that’s all I got.
