Siam gambling token [решено]

Looking for a reference or info. Couldn't find this one in Hartill. Maybe an imitation?

There are several of those gambling tokens on Numista, looks like none have a reference

Suggest you discuss with @Linketake42  He's quite knowledgeable about these tokens and found this one of mine  N#427319 here:  David Hartill, Pi Gaming  Pieces, Siamese Porcelain Tokens, list #: 1503, Ju Xing Gong Si.

I will give it a look in my Ramsden guide and give Hartill a look through as well. I have to go through that section anyway when I have time, get the tourist reproductions identified as such. If it's not already listed don't hesitate to add it. I can add the Chinese characters afterwards as well. 

Thanks! I'll add it with the info I have .

I’ve always been interested in how gambling worked back in the day. Tokens like the Hartill one really show how different it all was. Nowadays, everything happens online and you kind of take it for granted how fast and seamless things have become, especially when it comes to payments. Over the years, I’ve played at quite a few online casinos, and one thing that’s become really important to me is how quickly I can get my winnings. There’s nothing worse than waiting days for a payout, especially when you’ve had a good session. I’ve gotten used to quick withdrawals, so when I’m checking out Canadian casinos with fast payouts, I usually end up on https://casinosfest.com/fr/casino-en-ligne-retrait-rapide/ just to see which ones are actually delivering on that.  It gives a good overview of which sites are actually reliable when it comes to withdrawal times. I find it helpful that it doesn’t just throw a list at you, but includes details about how long you can realistically expect to wait. Honestly, it's hard to imagine how people used to gamble without all these modern conveniences. Looking at old tokens like the Hartill really puts things in perspective. They weren’t just gaming tools, they represented a much slower and more hands-on era of gambling. 

I'm not entirely sure, but something about it makes me think it could likely be part of a private gaming set. The design and material point in that direction, even if it's hard to say for certain.

Technically, they all were because each gambling den had their own sets issued, recalled and exchanged with a bit of the profit going to the gambling den that issued them. There are thousands of different designs for these, and no single authority to catalog all of them, which makes collecting these porcelain tokens a challenge.
