Crown Tourist Hotel

24mm, WM

There is a more likely candidate than Seoul or Pusan.
In Seoul, for example, the name is "Hotel Crown Itaewon" (www.asiahotels.net/mykoreahotels/seoul/crown/index.php3) or "Hotel Crown Insadong" (www.asiahotels.net/mykoreahotels/seoul/hotel-crown-insadong/index.php3) ... and the logo is not the same
In Pusan, again, "Hotel Crown Busan" and a different logo Please see the Crown Hotel (www.rao-osan.com/osan-info/offbase/hotels/crown.jpg) in Pyeongtaek (sometimes still called Songtan, outside the Osan Airbase, about an hour south of Seoul). This might be the place, given the large numbers of GIs and "tourist hotels" (www.rao-osan.com/osan-info/offbase/hotels.htm) ...
Note that all four hotels have been known as "Crown Tourist Hotel"
The Crown Tourist Hotel token is definitely from Korea. The inscription on the back says exactly the same as whats on the front. I have been cataloging Korean hotel tokens for some time. Don't know where to list this one, as there were two Crown Hotels in Korea -- one in Seoul and one in Pusan. I suspect this is from Seoul, but have no evidence either way
Note: I got this in a lot with several other tokens, which were from Seoul. So this token is probably from Seoul as well.

Know anything about this token? Please send me a note: pineconeforge(at)gmail.com
