Silver Striker Token From Luxor, Las Vegas / Re-blog lottery!

in #hive-14008410 months ago

I hope everyone is have a good Wednesday so far. Hump day so half of the work week is almost gone! So to celebrate I decided it would be fun to share some of my favorite silver, the Silver Striker tokens! I typically like to collect ones from defunct casinos that are long since closed down, but I also have always enjoyed the Luxor, Las Vegas tokens. The Egyptian theme is always a lot of fun! So without further ado, have a look!


About the token:
From https://www.silverstrikers.com/

I love the Luxor silver commemorative tokens, it's the only casino with an Egyptian theme and their tokens are always really cool. Later editions of this token they place King Ramses name above the chariot. One particular point I liked on this one was it was made at the Sunshine Mint who always produce nice silver products. Definitely a great items for collectors and silver stackers alike!

Since they mention King Ramesses II (Ramses) I thought it might be interesting to cover a bit about his life. He's often know as Ramesses the Great and was pharaoh for over 66 years, born in 1303 BC and died 1213 BC. He was responsible for the building of the temple of Luxor (and many others) from which the casino takes it's name. Here's an image of what remains of the temple with two huge statutes of Ramesses the Great at the front entrance.

During his reign he had multiple war campaigns into Syria, Libya, and Nubia. These amassed large amounts of treasure and wealth for the Egyptians. He also managed to achieve a peace treaty with the Hittites avoiding a major war. He was very effective military leader both on the battlefield as well as a negotiator .

King Ramesses II capturing his enemies

Ramesses II is remembered as a builder and a warrior. He died at 90 years of age having outlived most of his wives and children. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings but his body was moved by priests to protect it from looters. His mummy was found among the Royal Cache of with at least 50 other kings having all been moved there to protect the bodies of the kings.

I never been to the Luxor, if I do, you'll find me after one of these cool gaming tokens for my mummy.

It's not a bad place, I've stayed at a lot of places in Vegas, The Venetian was the nicest. But also very expensive... Silver Strikers are fun though. I'm pretty sure I bought all of my Luxor ones!

He sounds like he was a very impressive ruler!
Outliving most of your wives and children was probably quite uncommon back then!🙄

Living to ninety back then was unheard of! Apparently he was in really bad health the last twenty years of his life, I bet he wouldn't have mind skipping those years...

The older we get the tougher things get Lol!😇
Shoveling 11 1/2 inches of snow off a long driveway is getting harder and harder Lol😅😇🤣

No thanks, I'll pass on that....

The driveway is clear…….
The snow plow truck never came Lol!🙄

When we went for my brother in laws bachelor party the one club we went to was in the Luxor. It was pretty cool. We had a booth and we basically just got to sit for a couple of hours and drink really expensive drinks! The scenery was nice though!

That sounds like a lot of fun! It's a nice place, but I haven't been inside in years now!

Nice casino token again
