    Can anyone I dentify the old token below and where it was used? I'm guessing it's from the 1970s. The design in various iterations seems extremely common but I couldn't find an exact match online for this one.

    From the design I can say it is Not from Tasmania as apparently Tasmania doesn't exist. :lol:

    I'm thinking maybe the Melbourne Show or Luna Park, but can't find any confirmation.

    Old? The 1970's isn't old (or am I just showing my age :)).

    There used to be an arcade in the town I'm from. Had the same tokens with the "No Cash Value" design. Must be a universal design or possibly made by the same company.
