Billiken lucky coin token. Unknown vintage. Shipped in a thick plastic coin pouch.
Billiken replica token. Copper/brass color. Very nice condition, minimal wear--slight scratching and possible tiny edge dings from being processed and stored with other coins. Minor imperfections in the strike show it to *appear* to be worn from age. (Please check the pictures carefully, as they are part of this description) Slightly thicker than a United States quarter coin.
BILLIKEN, \"The god of things as they ought to be\" the front states. Copyright 1908 by the Billiken Company, Chicago. The back reads:
I am the God of Luckiness
So always keep my nigh
Misfortune\'s frown will disappear
At one flash from my eye
Be sure that I am on the spot
When projects you begin
I am the God of Luckiness
My name is Billiken
GOOD LUCK above the poem, and POCKET PIECE below the poem.
It is quoted in Wikipedia: \"To buy a Billiken was said to give the purchaser luck, but to receive one as a gift would be better luck.\"
