Description

Vintage casino token, visible in the photo, issued by the Carlton Casino Club in Cannes. This round token has a matte metallic finish, with slight silvery reflections, typical of gaming tokens used in prestigious establishments in the South of France.

The visible side features a circular inscription "CARLTON CASINO CLUB CANNES", engraved in capital letters around the perimeter. In the center, the number "2" topped with a stylized crown occupies a dominant place, suggesting a face value, probably associated with a monetary unit or a specific casino bet.

The background of the token is adorned with a grid composed of small card symbols (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) and numbers, reinforcing its identity linked to the world of gaming. The engraving details and the slightly satin texture of the metal attest to careful manufacturing, characteristic of professional casino tokens.

The token shows visible wear from use at certain angles, particularly fine friction marks on the edges and a discreet patina on the raised areas, indicating real use in a gaming room. No major chips or deformations are observable on the displayed side.

This type of token, from a renowned establishment like the Carlton in Cannes, has historical and decorative value, in addition to its interest as an authentic gaming piece. It is presented here in a vintage-looking case, which is not included unless mentioned in the advertisement.
