Comment

Token issued by Pierre Heinen via the intermediary house of Auguste Nimax and minted at the Fisch & Cie workshop in Brussels.
Pierre Heinen owned the café at 73, rue Victor Hugo in Esch/Alzette from 1966 to 1974.
His predecessor (Robert Rulot) had two tokens struck with a central hole 14 mm in diameter.
These three tokens are the only ones known with such a diameter.
