Hi,
these are wood jetons, used in the 60s by
the soldiers of the "Legion of France". The soldiers were not allowed to gamble for money
so they used these "mineral water tokens". If someone asked they could say
"We are just playing for a glas of water"
I got these jetons from a soldier who used them in Algeria from 1959 to 1961.
The small one was used as a vlaue 1 the round as 5 and the big one as 10.
Many greetings,
Bjoern Zabel
