Comment

Token from the Café Loos on rue de Luxembourg in Bous. The establishment was opened by Ferdinand Loos and his wife Anne Driesch in the early 20th century. Following the death of Ferdinand Loos in 1930, the widow ran the establishment alone for a short period. Son Jean Loos and concubine Nelly Stebens took over until 1973. The establishment no longer exists.

The present token was issued under Jean Loos, but the exact date and print run are unknown.
