Description

This antique casino token, visible in the photo, comes from the Casino de Cassis, as indicated by the embossed inscription on the displayed side: "CASINO DE CASSIS" appears at both the top and bottom of the rim. Its face value is "50 CENTS", clearly visible in the center. The token features a matte silver finish with a slightly patinated appearance, characteristic of metal tokens used in French gaming establishments during the 20th century.

The surface of the token shows uniform wear, with some visible marks and micro-scratches, indicating actual use in a gaming room. The entire perimeter is adorned with an embossed border, highlighting the classic circular shape of this type of token.

The typographic style, sober motifs, and absence of bright colors are typical of French casino tokens from the second half of the 20th century. The inscription "50 CENTS" is framed by two small stars and a stylized branch motif, adding a discreet decorative touch to the whole.

The token is presented in an antique case with gold decoration, which is not included unless otherwise stated in the advertisement. The staging highlights the brilliance and metallic texture of the token, emphasizing its authenticity and vintage appearance.

The edge of the token is not visible in the photo, and no information regarding the reverse or other markings is displayed. The described elements concern only the visible side.
