CHINA. China - United States. Brass Gaming Token, ND (ca. 1930's). PCGS AU-58.
Rulau-Fuld-Mcy-11. Diameter: 30 mm. Obverse: Imperial dragon coiled around fiery pearl; six clouds around; Reverse: Chinese ideogram surrounded by four characters.Referenced in the second supplement (1973) of American Game Counters by Rulau and Fuld, this type is listed under the miscellany section with an unknown American origin. The design obviously channels that of the late Qing dynasty, likely pointing to a date of manufacture within the few decades following the end of the empire.
