100 Bonanza's - Blankenberge

Blankenberge's seaside economy ran heavily on arcade and amusement token systems through the postwar decades, with individual establishments and social clubs issuing their own scrip to keep spending within their ecosystem. The "Vriendenkring" — literally a circle of friends — designation marks this as a membership club token rather than a purely commercial piece, suggesting internal redemption use among dues-paying members rather than open boardwalk circulation.

Alpaca — the Belgian trade name for nickel silver — was the workhorse alloy of this genre. The GMJ reference confirms cataloguing within Goussens, Moreau & Jonckers, the principal Belgian jetons and tokens reference.
