Overview

The letters 'WP' (White Palace) in a stylized font centered within a beaded/sunburst circle. Japanese Katakana text 'ホワイトパレス' (Howaito Paresu) at the top, bordered by stars.

Reverse (back)

Identical to the obverse (common for game tokens).

Estimated value

$0.01 - $1.00 per token

What drives this coin's value

Value is primarily as a novelty or for use in specific vintage slot machines. Exceptional condition or rare parlor names can slightly increase collector interest.

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine; showing moderate circulation wear and surface scuffs.

Mintage & rarity

High mintage; very common

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Authenticity is rarely an issue due to low value; check for standard weight and non-magnetic properties common in brass Pachislo tokens.

Notable varieties & errors

Minor variations in font size or decorative stars may exist between different production runs.

Similar coins

Often confused with currency or arcade tokens from other regions; distinguished by the Japanese Katakana and 'WP' logo.

Care & preservation

No special care needed as these are mass-produced tokens; store in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
