DW - Your token is listed in the Bowker & Lee Wyoming Trade Tokens book, but with no additional information. It is of the style that would date roughly 1905-1915. Consider posting pics on tokencatalog.com - and BTW, normal convention is to call the side with business name and location the front or obverse and the side with denomination is back or reverse.

[FONT=&quot]Basin was known as Basin City until it was incorporated in 1902 and 'City' was dropped from the name; so your token certainly post-dates 1901 as indicated by John's comment above.

Basin, Wyoming has a library. You may wish to contact its Director, Donna Capellen, at "[email protected]" and ask about your token. If she can't help you, you might ask her for information that will lead you to that county's Historian.
