The fortuna is possibly a casino token

Thanks for the help, derf!  :)

But, I have found same result about first token, while searching on the web. However, image on the token resemble to a church, possibly this one: http://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crkva_sv._Marka_u_Zagrebu

For the second token, I'm not sure - maybe it could be a casino token or something else... I was reading about brothel tokens made of brass, but can't be sure about this one.  z)

Any thoughts?

I don't think that is a brothel token. They usual have values or even services that can be bought!!
I once saw one that offered the owner 1 girl and beans! :wiz:
I can't say anything for sure about either token, but I agree that the image on the first one is of St Mark's Church, the image on the coin could have been taken directly from this:



The phrase "Blue Sky" and the image of the church seems to come up in every search for Zagreb, so unless someone knows anything for sure, it might be difficult to find anything solid.

If you got both tokens from the same source, then they could both be casino tokens. There appears to be a chain of casinos called "Blue Sky" in Croatia, or at least I've found one in Zagreb and one in Zadar.

And regarding the Fortuna token, there is also a casino called Fortuna in Zagreb. http://www.casinota.com/europe/croatia/casino-fortuna-zagreb.html
But then again, the name Fortuna is synonymous with gambling (Fortuna being the Roman Goddess of fortune and luck).

I hope this helps.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
Thanks for the help, BizzoDoes!  :wiz:

As well, for a wide explanation...you are probably right that these are both casino tokens. Fortuna is often used name for casinos all over the world, I think. However, I thought that this could be a different case, because of the image on the back of the coin.  8)
By the way, how was the beans, bam777? Was it delicious?  :D
