It seems to be Amsterdam School, which is similar to and from the same period as when Art Deco was developing. When I was in The Netherlands the last time, about 2 years ago, I was looking at a lot of architecture and design, and I saw some amazing Amsterdam School style buildings from the 1910s and 1920s. The tower on it is Dom Tower Utrecht, which was finished in 1382, and restored in 1910, of course predating art deco and Amsterdam school.

This is another coin design I've always thought of as Art Deco - the 1933 French 5-Franc piece designed by Lucien Bazor.

@FHG - Welcome to the CCF ! Thanks for sharing the GGIE tokens. My example -- posted at CCF in August 2023 -- was among an odd lot of tax tokens and other items within the footlocker of coins inherited from my father

I lived for a while in Belgium when those coins were circulating. I thought they showed cubist influence on the portrait side, though I guess the blocky lettering on the other side has things in common with Art Deco.
