Club Check used in the Commercial Travellers Club Sydney(club currency). Winnings from the poker machines were generally paid out in these checks. They were also used as a club currency and for purchasing drinks etc. These checks were also used to supply change to limit handling of cash by the club staff.
Note that the other denominations in the series were the same size which rules out their use in poker machines.
Tokens for the poker machines are generally non-denomination or cash was used.
