Description

This casino token, shown in the photo, is a round, metal piece with the inscription "CASINO DE CASSIS" in capital letters on its visible face. In the center, the number "2" is highlighted by a sleek design, surrounded by a double raised border. The token's appearance suggests old manufacturing, with a matte and slightly patinated metallic finish, typical of casino tokens used in French establishments during the 20th century.

The dominant color is a uniform metallic gray, with subtle reflections due to the light on the surface. The contours and inscriptions are clear and legible, confirming the quality of the period marking. No additional color or decorative elements are visible on this side. The token appears thick and solid, with well-defined relief on all apparent motifs and texts.

The overall style is sober and functional, corresponding to the traditional aesthetic of French casino tokens. This type of piece was intended for intensive use in gaming rooms, hence its robustness and easily identifiable design. The inscription "Casino de Cassis" specifies the originating establishment, an iconic location in the south of France.

The token is presented inside an elaborate box or case, but only the upper face of the token is fully visible in the image. No other details are observable on the reverse or the edge.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The token's surface shows a slight patina and some signs of wear, consistent with actual casino use. No major chips, inscription is clearly legible. See photo for the exact condition of the visible face.

Did you know? The Casino de Cassis, founded in 1920, is one of the historic gaming establishments on the French Riviera. Metal tokens like this one were used before the widespread adoption of plastic tokens, and each casino had its own models minted with its name to limit fraud and reinforce the establishment's identity.
