Futuroscope Theme Park Poitiers - France

FUTUROSCOPE uniface brass 26mm from the Futuroscope Theme Park Poitiers - France.

I found several other types from the park on Google images but not this uniface one.

The patterns on the back don't look random, Malcolm. It may be an "error".

I believe the pattern is composed of three fingerprints and several dings from other coins caused by use in a machine, something that is frequently seen in this situation.

I was living in Poitiers for Several years and I remenbers thta in the Futuroscope there is different attractions using water that can have been operated by tokens. There is also an arcade room where I am sure it was operated by tokens.

The token has a diameter of 26 mm. That is closest to a 2 francs piece; fine for a water show, but would it have bought you an arcade game?
