Description

Antique casino token, as seen in the photo, with a classic round shape, made of metal, as also indicated in the eBay title provided. This token features a grey, patinated finish, typical of tokens used in gaming establishments during the 20th century. On the visible side, there is an embossed inscription "CASINO DE CASSIS" encircling the large numeral "2" in the center, which is itself surrounded by a double embossed circle. Two parallel lines are also visible below the numeral, accentuating the token's face value.

The token's surface shows regular striking work, with well-defined reliefs. Some traces of wear and small marks are visible, signs of actual use in a gaming context, reinforcing its authentic and vintage character. The slightly shiny metallic appearance, with grey reflections, suggests robust manufacturing.

The token is presented in a decorative box or small antique-looking container, which highlights its function as a collector's item or souvenir. No other markings, patterns, or date indications are visible on the photographed side. The typography and general style suggest a production from the mid to late 20th century, without being able to specify the exact period due to a lack of other visual clues.

This type of token was used for betting or playing in the famous Casino de Cassis, a renowned establishment on the Côte d'Azur. The inscription and face value make it an emblematic accessory of French gaming rooms, sought after for its historical and decorative interest.

The coin is well-centered in the photo, allowing for appreciation of the sharpness of the inscriptions and the metal's patina. No major defects are observed, apart from the traces of wear and tear which contribute to its vintage charm.
