AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This token, visible in the photo, is a casino-style game accessory made of metal, as specified in the eBay title. It has a classic round shape and features a grey metallic surface, typical of slot machine or game room tokens from the late 20th century. The object bears the inscription "1st EURO" at its center, accompanied by a stylized coat of arms, as well as the mention "THEKINO KIMO" on the periphery, clearly legible on the visible side. The date "1998" also appears on the edge, placing this token in the period before the introduction of the actual euro currency.

The token's design is simple, with raised lettering and numbering, providing good legibility and a textured effect. The metal shows a consistent patina, with slight signs of wear visible on the surface, indicating prior use or prolonged storage. No chips or major deformations are visible on the presented side, which is an advantage for an object of this category.

The edge of the token is smooth, with no apparent reeding on this side, and the rim has a regular finish. The overall design is well-centered, with correct alignment of the inscriptions and motifs. The object is photographed in a display case or decorative box, highlighting its collectible nature.

This type of token, with the mention "1st EURO" and dated 1998, was often used as a promotional accessory or in gaming establishments before the official circulation of the euro currency. The inscription "THEKINO KIMO" suggests an origin or brand linked to a specific game room or casino, a valuable detail for identifying and valuing the object.

The visible side shows no additional decoration or color other than metallic grey, reinforcing the utilitarian and authentic character of the token. The engraved details remain sharp, testifying to robust manufacturing.
