This is a notched sample of a roulette chip used at Monte Carlo, Monaco a number of years ago. Shows a race car, which I assume is running the 1937 Monaco Grand Prix Formula-1 race. Same on both sides.
It appears to have been designed with this race ad poster in mind. The car is an Alfa Romeo 8C-35 Scuderia Ferrari, of which three competed in the 37 Monaco G.P. I can't find which one is this red one, but there were German, Swiss, and Italian drivers of these cars. Mercedes Benz swept the competition with 1,2,3 finishes.
Not my poster, but the sample chip is one I've had for several years. It can be yours for $10, delivered.
