Lettering: 20

Plain.

Comment

The coat of arms is described heraldically as "Azure, a raging bull". The mural crown of civil heraldry indicates the coat of arms of a large city, but this is not identified, although it is similar to that of Turin (Italy). The inscription "DALLO" does not seem to refer to a place.

A bistro slot-machine token, like the "for consumption" equivalents.
