12 bronze and copper-nickel tokens. Issued by Zvi Werner, who came to Haifa from Vienna and opened the "Werner" Café on Herzl Street in 1935.
On one side of the token is its value and on the other side is the inscription "CAFÉ WERNER HAIFA". Zvi Werner imported blank tokens, before impression, and the inscriptions were impressed on them in Haifa. They were in use until the café closed in 1951.
Some people think that the tokens were used by the café's waiters for calculations and in the times when coins were scarce they were used as coins as well.
The tokens' values are 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. Every token, of every value appears here in two variations: one made of bronze and one of copper-nickel. Tokens other than these values were not minted.
Rare.

Seven charity tokens. Syria, [late 19th - early 20th century].
1-6. Six round tokens – "BiTzdaka Tikonani" – " In righteousness shalt thou be established" (Isaiah 54, 14), with the Hebrew letters "Bet" and "Kaf" (probably acronym of "Beit Knesset" – Synagogue). The numeral "101" in the center symbolizes the angel Michael, an angel associated with charity. The numerical sum of the Hebrew letters for Michael equals "101".
7. Round token, "This for charity / D. P.". The meaning of the letters D. P. is doubtful. Ya'akov Meshorer assumes in his article "Another Jewish Charity Token" (Shekel, Vol. 9, No. 1, New York, Spring, 1976), that these are the abbreviations of either Dalet Perutot (4 Perutot = 4 mites) or Dalet Pe'amim (4 times).
