The chip is over 1-/4". It is actually 1-14/16" or 47 mm. In the picture below I compare it to a regular inlaid poker chip.
I once wrote about it as so:
PAULSON PLAIN MOLD -- the rim mold is flat/plain/not embossed. Like many other casino chips, the center is slightly recessed. ... It is mainly used for "no cash value" chips, so as not to compromise the security use of the hat-and-cane rim mold casino (money) chips. Thus, they are used as specialty chips, gift sets, business card chips and other NCV chips. ..... The green chip on the left is for sale here as a sample of the mold. The chip is a huge 1-7/8"! In small print under the 10,000 is "this chip for amusement only." The Winner Club chips were made for a junket operator running junkets to The North Korean Free Trade Zone, casinos. The chips were never picked up.
