Description

Antique casino token visible in the photo, typical of the world of gambling. It is a round, silver-grey, metallic-looking token with a grainy and patinated surface. On the visible side, the token bears the embossed inscription "CASINO D’ANNEMASSE" in an arc around the rim, framing the central value "20 CENTS" surrounded by two finely striated concentric circles. The typography and style of the token suggest a manufacturing date likely from the mid-20th century, a period when this type of token was commonly used in French casinos.

The texture of the token shows characteristic wear, with handling marks and slight scuffs, typical of accessories that have circulated in a gaming environment. The circular pattern, the regular distribution of dots on the periphery, and the mention of the value are distinctive elements of casino tokens used for table bets.

The object is presented in a vintage-looking brown velvet case or box, emphasizing its antique character and decorative dimension. The details of the token, particularly the mention of the establishment "Casino d’Annemasse," make it a unique accessory for enthusiasts of objects related to the history of French games and casinos.

On the visible side, no manufacturer's mark or year is indicated, but the quality of the relief and the metallic finish comply with the professional token productions of that era. This 20-cent token, with its patina and texture, bears witness to long use in a gaming room, enhancing its visual authenticity.

The piece is ideal for adorning a display case dedicated to old gaming accessories or for complementing a retro decor inspired by 20th-century casinos. Its presentation in a box highlights its heritage aspect.

Did you know? The Casino d’Annemasse, located on the Franco-Swiss border, was one of the major establishments in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region from the mid-20th century. Low-value metallic tokens, like this 20-cent one, were commonly used for table games and bear witness to the specific gaming practices of the time, before the generalization of plastic tokens in the 1980s.
