AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage metal casino token is from the famous Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, as clearly indicated by the embossed inscription on the visible side. The coin features a classic round shape, with an embossed design depicting the Tropicana building in an architectural style typical of large American hotel-casinos.

The token's surface displays a matte metallic appearance, with a uniform patina and a few light wear marks, attesting to its age and circulation. The peripheral inscription "ACCEPTABLE ONLY AT TROPICANA HOTEL LAS VEGAS NEVADA" surrounds the central representation of the establishment, while the word "TROPICANA" is prominently featured in a geometric cartouche. To the right of the coin, the value ".888" is visible, along with the mention "ONE DOLLAR GAMING TOKEN".

The token is photographed in a decorative box with golden floral patterns, which enhances its collectible character. No details of the reverse or edges are visible in the provided image. The metal finish shows some micro-scratches and traces of use, without affecting the legibility of the inscriptions or the main design.

This type of token was used as gaming currency in slot machines or on the Tropicana casino tables. The overall aesthetic, typography, and patina suggest a manufacturing date from the second half of the 20th century, typical of vintage American casino tokens.
