John Muir Token

[AU24K]

A friend has this token and wanted me to see if anyone can help with age, value or any info. I've tried a quick google, but I'm computer dumb. It's about the size of a silver dollar.
Thanks in advance.

John Muir—Front: Naturalist-Founder of National Parks, John Muir, April 21, 1838, December 24, 1914, Martinez Area Chamber of Commerce (Bust of John Muir at center) I'm thinking it's around a $20-40 token John was the first president of the sierra club. He was also an inventor.

Here's one on ebay but it says Alaska and not a very good picture.

This is the quote that is on the coin. That's all I know for now.




“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as
sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms
their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
- John Muir

Thanks for your replies. John Muir seemed like a pretty good fella.
