It is a round token with a silvery metallic appearance, and its surface has a finely granular, patinated texture. On the side shown, a large \"1\" face value is struck in relief in the center. The edge of the token is decorated with a circle of raised dots, delineating the central field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround the central value, the inscription \"CASINO LA CIOTAT\" is clearly legible and arranged in an arc, identifying the token's original establishment. No other motifs or decorations are visible on the presented side. The visible edge appears regular, with no apparent fluting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant color is silvery-grey, with a matte patina suggesting its age and regular use. The raised details are well preserved, and the legibility of the inscriptions remains excellent. The striking style and typography evoke production from the second half of the 20th century, typical of traditional French casino tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe token is photographed resting on a box with a gold decoration, but only the token is offered for sale.
