The Wembley Token Coin from India is a privately issued promotional piece dating back to the 1980s–1990s. Believed to have been used in amusement centers, fairs, or retail promotions, this lightweight aluminum token carried the “Wembley” name as a mark of branding and advertising. During the late 20th century, such tokens were widely circulated in India as substitutes for small change or for limited-purpose transactions within private establishments. Though not legal tender, these pieces reflect a fascinating era of local trade and marketing innovation. Today, Wembley tokens are valued by collectors as nostalgic relics of India’s commercial heritage.
