It is a round token, with a matte gray surface and clear relief on the visible face. The embossed inscription clearly indicates \"CASINO DE CHAMONIX\" around the edge, accompanied by the value \"20 CENTS\" centered. A stylized motif, probably a graphic representation, appears below the value. This token features a double-circled border and precise engraving, typical of 20th-century casino tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coin is placed in a decorative, gold-colored casing or box, adorned with baroque motifs, which highlights the item. All visible details suggest careful industrial manufacturing, with natural wear consistent with use in a gaming room. No major defects appear on the photographed side; the relief of the inscriptions remains well-marked and legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal's hue is uniform, with some micro-scratch marks and slight signs of oxidation, characteristic of an antique token. The sober and functional design, without frills, corresponds to the production of French casino tokens from the early to the second half of the 20th century. No vintage year is visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographed side shows neither a hallmark nor a manufacturer's mark, but the inscription \"CASINO DE CHAMONIX\" clearly identifies the original establishment, located in Chamonix, a renowned resort in the French Alps. The mention \"20 CENTS\" indicates a low face value, typical of tokens used for table games or slot machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis token is presented in an ornate box, but only the token itself is for sale. The photo does not allow for the indication of the reverse or any other possible markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item and sold as is.
