Comments
People living in and doing paid work for the Damanhur community get paid in Crediti. The value of 1 Credito equals 1 Euro. The coins are used within the community as money, one can pay with either Euros or Crediti in all the shops and restaurants.
Even within the community it is hard to find this coin, the cash registers of the Damanhur supermarket and restaurants tend to mostly contain coins worth less.
There is a 999 mark on the coin.
The oval around the 999 of the silver mark being incomplete suggests it was added later manually:
