Good morning! I came across this in an old jar of coins. Have searched foreign coins - Arabic? Or..?

 

Nope.. It's the famous Aladdin Token used in an arcade!

 

We have seen it a few times before -

Ha.. I started my search on token sites, no comparisons. Pressing on..

 

Thanks!! I have some really nice coins. It's the ones I don't know that tire my eyes ;-)!

 

FYI - If you have something that has no date/text on it, just pictures, it's most likely a token 99% of the time.

 

Aladdin's castle was a chain of arcades that set up in many malls. They also exist in nickel plated brass.

 

New Lamps for Old !!!

 

Found 2 of these about 4 years ago in a stash of unknown origin, mixed with foreign coins that had been misplaced over several domicile moves over the last 7 years or so.

I didn't know what they were either, but I suspect my kids got them from our local Aladdin's Castle when they were teens in the '90s.

Paddyman98, thanks for answering this for both of us and everyone else who were clueless.
