Overview

A brass arcade token featuring a stylized castle on the obverse and a magician's face on the reverse.

Historical significance

Aladdin's Castle was a prominent chain of video game arcades in shopping malls across the United States, founded by Jules Millman and later acquired by Bally and Namco. These tokens were used as currency within the arcade ecosystem during the golden age of arcade gaming.

Obverse (front)

A stylized multi-turreted castle (the trademark Aladdin's Castle logo) with no text.

Reverse (back)

A stylized face of a magician or Aladdin-like character wearing a turban, often with sunburst-like rays or hair radiating from the top.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $2.00 in average condition

What drives this coin's value

Most value is nostalgic. Condition issues like heavy oxidation ('zinc rot' or heavy tarnish) or bent edges decrease appeal. Some specific regional variations exist but most are priced similarly.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated; shows minor surface spotting and light handling marks but retains sharp detail.

Mintage & rarity

Very common; tens of millions produced. Not rare.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Authenticity is rarely an issue due to low value; however, original tokens are struck brass, not cast lead or plastic.

Notable varieties & errors

Variations exist in the size of the castle and the detail in the magician's face depending on the production year and mint.

Similar coins

Showcase or Namco arcade tokens; easily distinguished by the specific castle and face artwork.

Care & preservation

Maintain in a dry environment. While not highly valuable, avoid abrasive cleaning to preserve the original brass luster and detail.
