    1899 may be related to the brand Pall Mall, which is issued in 1899.

    However the token look very different - the one in MA-shops seem to be a latter issue.

    not a coin, is may be a token.

    A coin is a government issue

    So you think it really is from year 1899?
    Is it worth of something?

    "Camel cigarette firm was established in 1913..." Not true. The brand was introduced in 1913, but the manufacturer, R. J. Reynolds, dates from 1875.

    That said, your token is intriguing due to its early date of 1899. I would write R. J. Reynolds (corporate name now slightly different) enclosing (or linking to) a good image and ask them about its possible history (before you sell it). The firm should have a corporate Historian.
