Comment
Token with a value of 10 francs, used at the Schifflange municipal swimming pool.This token was created in 1986, to replace the 10-franc coins withdrawn from circulation.
There seems to be some confusion about the metal of this token. According to the Wertmarkenforum publication (issue 4, 2003), the token is made of brass, and according to Weiller, of nickel. However, this token doesn't look like brass and is virtually non-magnetic, with a density of approximately 9 g/cm2, so it's more likely to be made of cupronickel.
