Comment

Token from the establishment run by the couple Robert Rulot and Marie Antoinette, known as Nanny Laurent.
The café, located at 73, rue Victor Hugor in Esch/Alzette, was managed by Robert Rulot from 1956 until December 31, 1966.
During this period, he had 3 different tokens struck, including one identical to the present type but with a legend on the reverse [A. NIMAX LUXBG].

The couple's successor, Pierre Heinen, ran the café until 1974. During this period, he also minted a token (ME 092) with the same 14 mm diameter. These three tokens are the only ones known with such a diameter.
