Description

Old metal casino token, presented here in a decorative, gold-colored case. On the visible side, the token features a matte silver-gray finish, typical of many metal tokens used in 20th-century gaming establishments. The perfectly legible circular inscription reads: "DES BANS DE MER MONTE-CARLO SONT CASINO SOCIETÉ." In the center, there is a stylized "2" surrounded by a radiating sun-like motif, adding a distinctive graphic touch to the piece.

The typography and ornamental style of the central motif suggest a design inspired by classic casino tokens, likely produced in the latter half of the 20th century. The token's surface shows a patinated effect with some visible signs of wear, giving it an authentic, vintage character.

The token is photographed in an ornate box or case with finely molded decoration, which is not included in the listing (only the token is included). The item has a perfectly round shape, with distinct relief on the inscriptions and the central motif. No details of the reverse side are visible in this image.

This Monte Carlo casino token is for those who appreciate authentic memorabilia from iconic gaming establishments. It is a decorative piece, ideal for enhancing a desk, a display cabinet, or an area dedicated to retro gaming-related items.

Did you know? The Monte Carlo Casino, inaugurated in 1863, is one of Europe's most famous gaming establishments. The tokens used in this casino have evolved over the decades, reflecting the graphic trends and materials available at each period. Metal tokens, like the one presented, were common before the widespread use of plastic in the 1980s.
