BZIRCUS Arcade or Amusement Tokens

These are a pair of small, circular amusement tokens typically used in an arcade or carnival setting, specifically associated with a brand marked 'BZIRCUS'. The tokens appear to be struck from a copper-based alloy, such as brass or bronze, given their warm, reddish-brown metallic hue. Each token is approximately 20-25mm in diameter (similar to a standard US quarter or nickel) and features a relief-stamped logo on the obverse side. The logo 'BZIRCUS' is rendered in a stylized, jagged script reminiscent of 1980s or 1990s graphic design, underscored by decorative stars and motion lines that suggest a high-energy entertainment environment. In terms of condition, the tokens exhibit a natural aged patina with visible oxidation and darkening in the recessed areas of the strike, which is common for circulated exonumia. There are minor perimeter scuffs and surface wear consistent with being dispensed from machines or handled frequently by patrons. No significant structural damage, such as bending or deep gouging, is visible. The strike quality is moderately sharp, indicating a mass-produced industrial minting process common for family entertainment centers. These items represent a late 20th-century style of localized currency used for coin-operated games or attractions.
