Very cool,the swastika was a symbol for good luck. That is why Hitler used it for his symbol for the Nazi party. Not to lucky for him.

Cool token. Hitler used the broken cross for it's archaic symbolysm, recommended by his occult-obsessed minister, Himler. If it was a good luck symbol, things didn't work out too well....

Even the Boy Scouts and the National Savings Bank used the Swastika as a Good Luck symbol (It goes back several 1000 years), but most tokens etc, as well as general use, was abandoned in the 1930´s due to Hitlers use of it. You also have left and right facing swastika´s.
