Correct, Spookie,
It is a lucky token, issued by one of the "Közp.Vásárcsarnok" i.e. "Central Market Hall" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Market_Hall_%28Budapest%29) sellers in 1949.
The seller's name is Ferenc Lauer (no clue what he sells

) but he was selling in "Booth #53"
These happy new year luck tokens were pretty popular back then (and still in Austria)
The pig and the chimney-cleaner somehow are typical symbols of luck in Hungarian culture, so most of them have this motive, or the four-leaved-clover and the horseshoe.
