The surface displays a patina marked by multiple traces and micro-scratches, testifying to its use and age. On the exposed side, the inscription \"CASINO\" is clearly visible in an arc at the top, the value \"0,50\" in oversized central numerals, and the mention \"LA CIOTAT\" at the bottom, all surrounded by a double border punctuated with raised dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe token's appearance suggests it is made of metal, consistent with the keywords, with a matte silver tone and accentuated relief of the inscriptions. The piece is presented in a decorative case with golden floral motifs, highlighting its collectible nature. No major structural defects are visible, but the surface bears the typical marks of long handling in a gaming environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typography and engraving style, as well as the reference to La Ciotat, suggest production for a gaming establishment in the South of France, probably during the second half of the 20th century, a period during which this type of token was commonly used in regional casinos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe token has a relatively large diameter (without a numerical estimate), its flat shape and moderate thickness make it easy to handle and recall the standards of table game accessories.
