The style of these reminds me slightly of some Soviet telephone tokens. Such tokens often have xTC on them where the x is a letter that defines what kind of telephone call can be made with the token. The two commonest are МТС (Междугородная телефонная служба, inter-urban telephone service) and ГТС (Городская телефонная служба, town telephone servce). I can't remember seeing an A, or think what it might stand for (автоматическая/automatic is a possibility).

Of course, your tokens use the Latin alphabet, thus restricting their provenance to Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia if I am right about the USSR. On balance, this is probably a red herring, but you never know.  :)
