AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage metal casino token, from the "Circus" gaming room, presented here in a decorative case. On the visible side, the inscription "SALLE DE JEUX CIRCUS" (CIRCUS GAMING ROOM) is embossed in an arc around a central motif representing a lion, an emblem often associated with the Circus brand. The token has a silver-metallic finish and natural wear, typical of gaming room use, with slight traces of oxidation and small handling marks visible on the surface.

The token is perfectly round, with a smooth edge visible on the upper border. The lion's engraving is detailed, highlighting its mane and crown, which gives the piece a distinctive character. The lettering is clear and legible, facilitating immediate identification of the original establishment.

The token is photographed in an elegant setting, placed in an antique box with gold decoration, which highlights its decorative potential and its interest as a collector's item or curiosity. No information is visible regarding the reverse side or any face values; only the side mentioning "Circus" and the lion motif is shown.

The overall appearance of the metal reveals a grayish patina, typical of tokens that circulated in the 1980s-1990s, a period when many gaming establishments used this type of personalized token. The piece shows no breaks or visible deformation, and the edges appear regular.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of small traces of wear, superficial scratches, and oxidation spots, without major alteration of the motif or lettering.
