Vintage MAFCO Las Vegas Belt Buckle with 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar Replica

This is a rectangular, cast metal souvenir belt buckle produced by MAFCO of Denver, Colorado. The buckle features a central mounted coin dated 1889, designed to mimic a United States Morgan Silver Dollar. The coin is set within a decorative beaded bezel and appears to be a swiveling or 'spinner' style element held by two lateral pivot points. The background of the buckle plate is finished in a dark, antique-style patina with a cross-hatched textured field. Ornate relief graphics decorate the perimeter, including pairs of dice in the upper corners, playing card suits (spades and diamonds), and fan-like patterns. The words 'LAS VEGAS' are prominently displayed in raised block lettering across the bottom. Constructed primarily from a heavy base metal alloy, likely pewter or zinc with a darkened coating, the piece is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century novelty Western wear. Surface wear is evident on the raised high points and the central coin face, showing a loss of original luster and general scuffing consistent with age and use. The reverse is stamped with 'c MAFCO DENVER COLORADO MADE In USA', identifying it as a mass-produced collectible from a well-known 1970s-era novelty manufacturer.
