Vintage metal casino token 5F Hyères old slot machine token coin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This old casino token has a classic round shape, with a matte, patinated metallic finish. The visible side features the embossed inscription "SLOT MACHINE 5 F HYERES", accompanied by two stylized palm trees in the center, below the face value. The lettering is crisp and clear, typical of tokens used in gaming establishments in the south of France. The entire surface shows signs of wear and micro-scratches, indicating regular use and a certain age.

The silver color of the token enhances its vintage appeal, while the slightly grainy texture reveals marks and irregularities characteristic of circulating casino pieces. The edges are clean, with no particular decoration apparent on the visible side. The token is presented in a display case with a gold-colored decoration, on a white fabric background, which highlights its authentic and retro appearance.

The graphics and typography used, as well as the mention "5 F" (francs), place this token in the period before the introduction of the euro, probably between the 1960s and 1990s. The indication "HYERES" suggests a local origin, possibly from a casino or an emblematic gaming room in this seaside resort.

The decorative details, such as the stylized palm trees, give this piece a distinct regional character, increasing its interest for the history of gambling in France. The entire visible side is in good structural condition, without chips or notable deformation, with a beautiful patination from use.

Condition Used item, sold as is. Presence of wear marks, superficial scratches, and patina related to age and use.

Did you know? Casino tokens in francs were used in many French establishments before the euro became widespread in 2002.
