Hello ZacUk, thank you for your response, I see that my token has suffered a significant degradation. Despite everything, I am happy to have had information on this token. Kind regards, Laurent.

 Thanks. Yours has just SPECIALITY FOR WINES on the side with the lady, 

whereas that which I showed has that as an inner lettering with 

others outside of that. Though - yours may have been cut from an 

original token (for some reason), as the obverse has some of those 

horizontal lines of lettering cut off at the edge.

Thank you very much, it will have its place when even in my collection. Kind regards, Laurent.
