Watch List notes:

Palestine/Israel Rare Complete Set of 12 Café Werner Tokens Used from 1935-1951. Includes denominations of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 in bronze (first series) and copper-nickel (second series). The reverse has the incused inscription "CAFÉ/WERNER/HAIFA." It is believed that the waiters used these tokens for calculations, and at times of the shortage of coins these were used as currency. It is thought that only 51-58 complete sets are extant. Grades vary from Fine to Extremely Fine, with no problems. A similar set, missing the scarce "5" copper-nickel, was sold for $700 by Kedem Public Auction House (Jerusalem) in 2013. Estimated Value $500 - UP
