AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An antique, round casino token, presented here in a decorative baroque-patterned box. The visible side of the token displays a silvery metallic appearance, with a slightly matte and granular finish that evokes the traditional look of tokens used in gaming establishments. In the center, a stylized "5" is embossed in relief, surrounded by a double border circle.

Around the perimeter, the inscription "CASINO DE LA CIOTAT" appears in capitals, clearly legible and finely engraved, definitively indicating the token's origin. The overall design is understated, typical of French casino tokens from the second half of the 20th century, combining functionality with clear visual identity. No additional patterns or colors are visible on the presented side, which highlights the object's simplicity and utilitarian purpose.

The token's texture shows slight signs of use, including some superficial marks and small scratches, particularly visible under glancing light. No major chips or deformations are visible on this side. The natural patina of the metal enhances the authentic and vintage appearance of this gaming token.

The box on which the token rests is not included in the sale; it serves here as a prop for photographic enhancement. Only the token in the photo is included in this listing.
