It says, General gergo(???) remboursable au siege du comite
It seems to be waxed cardboard.
Back is blank but appears to have had a paper label on it at one time.
It's a "good for" token, but what is it exactly?

Thanks for ordering it.
I think this is it :
http://www.tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&td_id=457399&inventory_id=487133&attribution_id=470370
COMITE DE DEFENSE DES INTERETS DU COMMERCE TOULOIS / (Town Seal) / 5c.
REMBOURSABLE AU SIEGE DU COMITE 12 RUE DU GENERAL GERGOULT + / 5c
It is a token used as a form of small change in Toulois in Lorraine during the period 1914 - 1927 issued by the Chamber of Commerce. There were notes issued by the city as well. A system used by many towns .... they used aluminium tokens too.

Thank you, Vetraio. That is the one.
It seems to be similar to notgeld in Germany?
Same thing, I'd say. War. Reconstruction.
Thank you, Vetraio.
