This token is about 1mm larger than a dime and has what appears to be a Greek priest on the obverse. Any idea what it was for/ or from?

There is a Numista listing for one but the person provides no information about it.
There is an ebay listing for one and the seller claims that the person is Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Internet searches have been fruitless.

Agreed. The numista listing (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...141072.html) and ebay auction came up very quickly, but I'm struggling to find any other examples of either the obv or rev designs.


Added: there is at least one fairly well known medal of Giuseppe Garibaldi done by George Louis. It shows a slightly slimmer bearded dude facing left, but wearing that same distinctive fez with tassel:
