AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage casino token, visible in the photograph, is a metal specimen with a patinated appearance, typical of tokens used in 20th-century gaming establishments. The visible side shows a round surface, worn by time, with a matte finish and traces of regular use, giving the whole an authentic and vintage character.

The piece features the clearly legible inscription "CURACAO PLAZA CASINO" in relief at the center, accompanied by a stylized circular motif and parallel bars, graphic elements frequently associated with casino visual identities. Around the edge, the peripheral text reads: "ONE DOLLAR GAMING TOKEN ACCEPTABLE ONLY AT THE CURACAO PLAZA CASINO GAMING," which attests to its specific function as a gaming token.

The metallic appearance of the token is clearly visible, with slight variations in gray tones and natural aging. Wear marks, scratches, and micro-shocks are scattered across the entire surface, indicating real use in a gaming room. No major chips are visible on the exposed side, and the details of the lettering remain generally legible despite the marked patina.

The reverse of the token is not visible in the photo, in accordance with strict description rules. Only the front side, richly decorated and informative, is considered in this presentation.

The piece is presented in an antique case with gold decoration and textile, which highlights its aspect as a collector's token or a decorative object with a retro feel.
