Buyer's Premium:

A substantial collection of numerous metallic, and one blue plastic, disc-shaped objects, predominantly comprising tokens and commemorative pieces, with varying sizes and thicknesses. The materials appear to include brass, bronze, copper, and silver-toned alloys. Visible dates span from 1953 to 2008, indicating a multi-decade accumulation. Inscriptions suggest diverse origins and purposes, including transit tokens (“MÉTROCAR 1981”), commemorative pieces (“TOKYO MARATHON 1953”, “MIDNIGHT MARATHON 1996”, “THE GOOD OLD DAYS IN MEMORY OF 1997”, “10TH ANNIVERSARY ROBERT RAIKES SUNDAY SCHOOLS 1780-1980”, “CONCOURS DE GYMNASTIQUE”), and amusement/gaming tokens (“Nausicaa”, “FUN CITY”, “MACH 80”, “PREMIERE PRISON 2008”). Other distinct markings include “SCHULAN”, “EAST WEST TED IS GOD”, and various numerical denominations (e.g., “25”, “5”).
