commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12272 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 1:32 pm Yes, the piece shown is a game token/counter (i.e., play money). It is not an actual coin. Their value can range from "junk box" find for less than a dollar to $20 or more depending on their condition and the popularity of the design on them. I don't know how popular this piece might be among token collectors. Here's a link to a similar design with a lion: http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...rd_offset=25. Not much info is provided, but it is similar. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Edited by commems 05/26/2020 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 2:17 pm Just from my rather obsessive browsing experience. This design hasn't popped up for me very often at all. Too bad for the verdigris. I would think it would be a "better" than usual spiel marke to find. Report this Post to the Staff
tokenscot Valued Member United Kingdom 82 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 12:19 pm It is a play coin and they are found with all sorts of different animals on one side and SPIEL MARKE on the other. I know of three different ones with lions... . although the latter looks more like a lioness. Report this Post to the Staff
