Trade tokens like the "Commodore, Mississippi Julius Jones 10¢ Trade Token" were commonly used in the United States as substitutes for legal currency, particularly in smaller communities or specific businesses. These tokens often served promotional purposes or acted as credit vouchers for goods and services at a particular merchant.
Unfortunately, there is limited specific information available about the "Julius Jones 10¢ Trade Token" from Commodore, Mississippi. It doesn't appear frequently in trade token catalogs or common auction sites, suggesting it may be quite rare or specific to a niche collection.
Trade tokens from this era and region often fall into several categories, including those used in general stores, saloons, or local businesses. They typically bear the name of the merchant, location, and value, which in this case is 10¢. The scarcity of information might imply that this token was used for a short period or produced in limited quantities.
For further insights, you might explore forums and databases dedicated to exonumia (the study of coin-like objects such as tokens). Websites like Collectors Weekly and TokenCatalog.com could be useful resources for connecting with other collectors who might have more detailed knowledge or similar tokens.

Please define "anywhere". Are we talking 5 minutes on google, or hours in libraries, museums, & coin shops pouring over guide books & historical references?

Can you please provide pics of both sides, and is there a date?

I find quite a few references to the token on various auction sites, but apparently nothing current.
