Lef Lycklig och Nöjd Swedish token [opgelost]

3 berichten • 81 keer bekeken
Hi everyone
Here is another little token I have, that I do not know what it is
My guess is the back had no markings, but they could have worn away through time
I would like to add it to Numista, but not sure what it is
Left Happy and Satisfied ( I think is the translation ) ( Gambling token? ) ( Meal Token)
it is 13 MM with a weight of .88 grams, appears to be copper
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I do not have much to say about the token, but you said "any help", so...

The language is as you guessed swedish, but the first word "lef" is an old spelling of what today is "Lev", i.e. "live" (imperative form, as in "live happy and satisfied"). This spelling reform was done in 1906, which gives an idea of the age.

(The only reference of the exact phrase, spelling and meaning i could find was from birthday cards of the 1880s.)

Thank You!
A birthday wish token is great!
I'll figure something out as to where it belongs in Exonumia
