AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage casino token is an authentic gaming accessory from the famous MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The visible side features a matte metallic finish, with a clear engraving of the iconic stylized lion logo in the center, surrounded by a double raised circle. The inscription "MGM GRAND 1993 GAMING TOKEN ONE DOLLAR" is perfectly legible and runs around the entire perimeter of the token, confirming its origin and face value of one dollar.

The central motif, typical of American casino aesthetics of the 1990s, is distinguished by precise engraving, highlighting the lion, symbol of the MGM brand. The surface of the token has a slightly patinated appearance, revealing some superficial signs of wear characteristic of an object that has circulated in gaming rooms. The edges are regular, with no apparent chipping on the visible side.

The metallic grey color and rough texture of the token are reminiscent of the alloys frequently used in casino accessories of that era. No other decoration, serial number, or marking is visible on this side. The object is presented on a beige velvet background, which highlights the contrast with the metal and emphasizes its decorative as well as historical character.

This type of token was used for slot machines and gaming tables at the MGM Grand when it opened in 1993, the year directly indicated on the piece. The whole is a typical example of the utilitarian but distinctive design of Las Vegas casino tokens at the end of the 20th century.
