The purpose or use of this token has so far resisted my attribution efforts. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. it looks like something to insert in a vending machine of some sort, but this is a pure guess.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 7:36 pm It may be a coin token for a payphone, Rivera Andriatica sounds like a resort or area. Just Google it... ttps://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-s1-g188057-d631833-Reviews-Hotel_Adriatica-Geneva.html Edited by Crazyb0 07/29/2018 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 06:36 am Thanks. Clearly the same style, but no explanation of what they were used for. Another avenue to explore. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 12:01 pm Here's a direct hit: https://www.delcampe.net/en_US/coll...3296967.html Might a "sala giochi" be a casino? (gaming hall) Edit: More likely an arcade. Edited by tdziemia 07/30/2018 12:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 9:39 pm "sala giochi" translates via google to "games room". So it would seem that the best guess is an arcade token of some sort. Evidently this was a standard style of token. Report this Post to the Staff
