1996 Bill’s Casino Lake Tahoe $10 Silver Strike – Emerald Bay – .999 Silver, Encapsulated
This listing features a circa 1996 Bill’s Casino $10 gaming token, issued in Lake Tahoe, Nevada as part of the casino’s limited-edition Silver Strike program. The token is a bimetallic issue consisting of a .999 fine silver center encased in a brass outer ring, produced for casino gaming use and promotional distribution.
The obverse displays the Bill’s Casino logo within a circular frame, with the inscriptions “LAKE TAHOE” above and “CASINO” below, and “NEVADA” at the lower portion of the silver insert. The surrounding brass ring is inscribed “LIMITED EDITION TEN DOLLAR GAMING TOKEN,” with “.999 FINE SILVER” noted along the lower arc.
The reverse features a scenic depiction of Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe, showing mountainous terrain and water in relief. Beneath the scene are the inscriptions “Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe” and “ELEVATION: 6,225 FT.” The outer ring repeats the “LIMITED EDITION TEN DOLLAR GAMING TOKEN” legend and names “BILL’S CASINO.” These Silver Strike tokens were originally dispensed by slot machines in the mid-1990s and are now collected for their silver content and regional themes. The piece is housed in a protective capsule.
