Overview

A standard round arcade/amusement park token featuring a castle motif and text for Superfun Pizza Jamboree and Castle Park.

Historical significance

This is an example of 'exonumia' or commercial tokens used in family entertainment centers and arcades. Castle Park is a notable amusement park in Riverside, California, founded by Bud Hurlbut. These tokens were used to operate arcade games at their 'Superfun Pizza Jamboree' locations.

Obverse (front)

Stylized castle building inside a circular border in the center. Legend around the rim: 'SUPERFUN PIZZA JAMBOREE' on top and 'CASTLE PARK' on the bottom. Text 'NON REDEEMABLE' above the bottom legend. Small stars used as spacers.

Reverse (back)

Central text across several lines: 'GOOD FOR ONE PLAY AT A CASTLE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. FACILITY ONLY'. Rim legend at top: 'NON NEGOTIABLE'. Small stars flanking the central text.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $2.00 in average condition. Only rare early variations or high-grade specimens from specific defunct locations command more from niche arcade collectors.

What drives this coin's value

Value is influenced primarily by geographic nostalgia, the condition of the plating, and the specific variety of the park name.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (EF); retains original luster but shows minor surface abrasions and bag marks consistent with industrial use and storage in a 2x2 flip.

Mintage & rarity

Common; millions of such tokens were produced for amusement chains.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Authentic tokens are struck with steel dies; look for crisp lettering. Cast counterfeits are rare as the value of the token is extremely low, but would appear pitted or soft in detail.

Notable varieties & errors

Varieties exist with different font sizes, different castle designs, and specific park locations/sub-brands.

Similar coins

Often confused with tokens from Chuck E. Cheese, ShowBiz Pizza, or generic 'No Cash Value' arcade tokens which share similar sizing and composition.

Care & preservation

Store in a dry place to prevent 'zinc pest' or corrosion. Avoid cleaning with abrasives as it will scratch the plated surface. Mylar flips or coin tubes are suitable for storage.
