This is a complete 9-jeton sample set from The Aviation Club de France (ACF), which was founded in 1907 in Paris, Champs-Elysées Ave and later popularized by World Poker Tour in 1995. It was closed in 2014, and all chips/jetons were made obsolete and subsequently auctioned off.

These jetons were made by Bourgogne et Grasset (B&G), as part of GPI that also owns Paulson, Bud Jones, etc. Interestingly, all the different denominations were made in a different size (see below), which offers the collector a sampler pack of B&G's different jeton size offerings. All jetons feature the mother of pearl decor pattern with different colors, and each have an engraved serial number. The higher denominations of 500€ and 1000€ feature the iconic B&G transparent lunette.

2€: 34 mm
5€: 36 mm
10€: 38 mm
20€: 40 mm
50€: 43 mm
100€: 45 mm
200€: 47 mm
500€: 50 mm
1000€: 52 mm

I’ll be honest, those tiny hands that sometimes appear in your photos kind of freak me out…

Really cool, historic jetons though, GLWA!

Are you saying that I have tiny hands?

I'll have you know tiny hands can push 48mm stacks into the pot just fine...

Each finger look like a succulent, perfectly cooked and shelled shrimp...

So... succulent.

So... succulent.

Might be a tad painful when we remove that digestive vein, though....but then a little seasoned panko, and a quick trip through the deep fryer at 375 -- yumm!
