is a 5000 plaque from The Casino Dragonara located in Malta.

The casino is still open:

Plaques measure a large 5" L x 3½" H x 1/8" thick (approximately). IMO, plaques are large, but on the thin side. Both sides are the same.

These plaques are obsolete for one of two reasons (or both). Either because the casino became part of the Groupe Lucien Barriere, or because the "Malta lira" was replaced by the euro in 01/01/08. At the time of currency conversion:

5000 Malta lira (obsolete currency) = $15,068.10 USD.

Plaques are the same on both sides - all show some hot stamp wear. Two available. $19 shipped in the US. First two emails to me gets one.
