Owner Comments:

After the initial 1949 Meet The Presidents board game by Topps, the game was sold to the more well-known company Selchow & Righter, the same company that produced Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit. Here is the 1953 version of the George Washington token that was now made in Aluminum instead of brass. The game itself is the 1949 version, only the game coins have changed.

Obverse: 1ST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 1789 1797, GEORGE WASHINGTON
Reverse: "AMERICAN FABIOUS", FIRST, IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, FIRST IN THE HEARTS, OF HIS COUNTRYMEN, SERVED EIGHT YEARS, AS PRESIDENT, WITHOUT, PAY, "FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY"
