Thou art a Spanish token?

 

One might think so? Perhaps a love token?

 

Spain usually, Andorra used it too.

 

I'm guessing Spain. They at one time used the Peseta denomination

 

The second picture is upside down. LL and a D... The Double L is pronounced like the letter Y as in Yellow or Yes.

 

I would expect it to date from about 1900 based on the style.

 

Since it is a small 'd' I would expect it to be L de L. as on Luiz de Leon (purely imaginary name)

 

My first guess was Spain...but nothing in my Krause matches the "5 pesetas" design. I'm just curious if it's a "5 Pesetas (good for one) Llama named Danielo" token.

 

Wondering if it's a casino token...

 

Yes.. Una Ficha de Casino. I found a webpage with the true other side.. well close to it!

@stldanceartist
OK so this is what I learned reading other Spanish websites
There was a Casino in the town of Cieza in Spain and these were the tokens that were used there called fichas

Great site and resource. @GDJMSP can this be added to the numismatic resources section? These casino pieces can be notoriously difficult to research.

 

Here we go:

 

I think that it is a token of some Spanish cooperative.
