Script: Latin

Lettering: CANGURO MAIS M.GAULOTO ORSO LICHENE

Translation: Canguro Mais, M. Gaoloto/Gao Loto and Orso Lichene are some of the co-founders of Damanhur. These names are self chosen spiritual names in the Damanhur tradition (an animal name first, then a plant name); they translate as 'Kangaroo Corn', 'M. High Lotus' (Gao is Chinese for high) and 'Bear Lichen' (lichen is a plantlike organism that grows on rocks)

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.

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:
