Luna Park Restaurant Heliopolis Token?

[kiwigirl]

Out today and found this, very interesting Can anyone tell me about what I have found.
I have been searching on the web but not come up with anything exact yet.
There is Lunar Park Los Angeles and also in Australia. Links talk of a Lunar Park Restaurant in Los Angeles, but not in Australia?
Tokin, Check, or whatever it may be is copper, 24mm across with a number 2 on the back.

Any info would be appreciated.
Regards

Heliopolis is also a suburb of Cairo,Egypt. There was a "funfair" by the name of Luna Park located there. Also palaces, etc. with a restaurant.
Here's a web site I found.

Thanks Dave. It's taken a couple of days but I found the same token with a number 1 on it at http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/view_lot.php?sale=78a&lot_id=7430&results=15&sort=lot%20ASC&category=188&page=5&img=y&kw=

Also some info on Luna Park Heliopolis at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Park,_Cairo
Maybe one of our NZ Soilders had been over in Egypt and while back home went to the races and lost it at the old race-course. The race course is still used today, so it has alot of years on it, about 1880 - 1890 I think it moved to there from where it was.

So everyone that was interested, there we go.

Glad you could establish a confirmed identity of your token. Research is half the fun.
