[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1795213, member: 4373"]I've bought this interesting token / coin and have to say I'm quite impressed over it. Something that's issued exactly 100 years ago yet it seems rather modern. As I'm a metalhead (I like to collect coins in various elements), this is something that sparked interest in me for a long time. Price has been quite prohibitive but I got this at a reasonable price considering it's condition. What is neat about these tokens is that each token has been individually labelled. Most catalog mention that the token is made in ivory but the reality is it's made out of ivorine - plastic that imitates ivory.
