ACF plaques
$1,500.00
Relics from two eras of one of the Old Continent's most prestigious clubs.
A very special pair of plaques from the Aviation Club de France (ACF), Paris.Located on the Champs-Élysées, the ACF was for decades one of the most prestigious gaming clubs in Europe and a true landmark of the Parisian gambling scene. And the ACF marked the WPT's first outing outside U.S. territory. These two stunning plaques represent two different eras of the ACF, while sharing the same unmistakable identity and heritage.
The ACF's iconic emblem is built around the silhouette and spirit of the legendary Concorde — one of the great technological achievements of the 20th century and a symbol of European aerospace excellence, speed, luxury and innovation.
They also perfectly illustrate the exceptional craftsmanship and unrivalled sense of elegance associated with Bourgogne & Grasset, whose plaques remain among the finest expressions of European gaming manufacture. The distinctive artwork, textured surfaces, rich colours and substantial format give these pieces an impressive presence in hand.
Both plaques measure approximately 13.9 × 9.6 cm (5½ × 3¾ inches).
- 100,000 Francs — vintage ACF
- The older plaque, featuring the earlier ACF design and logo, dates from the 1980s.
- A beautiful piece of French gaming history from the era when the ACF was one of the essential destinations for high-stakes players in Paris, with a particularly strong vintage character.
- 1,000,000 chips — lastest period of the ACF
- The million chip plaque belongs to a much later period, dating from around 2010, and features the later ACF logo.
- Is itself extraordinary, and pieces at this level are not something one encounters every day — even among collectors of high-denomination casino plaques.
Both plaques are in exceptional condition: very shiny, remarkably well preserved and near mint. A genuinely unique addition to a serious collection.
These high denominations plaques of the ACF are extremely difficult to find. These are truly exclusive pieces, and the opportunity to acquire both denominations—representing two distinct eras of the ACF—can be an added benefit. However, it is not a condition of sale.
I am offering them as a pair at $1,500, but I am also open to discussing individual sales with the right collector:
- 100,000 Francs — $850
- 1,000,000 chip — $775
Payment: PPFF preferred, or Wise. Buyer covers any fees if applicable. I can also accept EUR.
Shipping: Worldwide shipping available. Shipping cost is on the buyer. Once shipped, the package travels at the buyer's risk.
