    Hey friends,
    Anyone know anything about this token? Like where it came from or how old it is or anything? I'm not concerned with how much it's worth because I decided not to sell it. ‹(•¿•)›
    I know some of y'all got token books and all so if you can let me know something. danka

    The crooked cross or swastika is an old symbol meaning many things in different cultures , it was a good luck symbol in the West before the Nazis perverted it in WWII . So this is probably a 20th century token made in the West to sell to tourists or whoever with a play on the swastikas meaning of good luck .

    The swastika is a symbol for Buddhism in parts of Asia.

    When visiting Seoul, you can see the city skyline dotted with neon-lit(!) Christian crosses and Buddhist swastikas, as they appear in this token.
