Hi my name is Westen, I started collecting old obsolete casino chips and gambling memorabilia about six years ago.
This has lead me to collecting gambling chips and tokens from all over the world. I'm mostly interested in the older hard to find items. I recently got these tokens that look foreign to me.
I thought they may be generic because they don't have any names or monograms but they do have some interesting imagery and design. Does anyone here have an opinion on these? I would be curious to hear anything.
Thanks,
Wes

I moved your post to the token section to get a more specific audience.

Welcome aboard, Westen.

The term "generic" certainly suits these modern gaming tokens. The term "maverick" is also applicable, I'd say, as the location(s) that these were used may forever remain a mystery.

Many of the earlier gaming tokens, dating back over a hundred years, can be added to your collection at a modest cost. Enjoy the hunt!
