JAMES BOND - DR. NO - £500 LE CERCLE CASINO PLAQUE.
An original 'Les Ambassadeurs - Le Cercle' casino plaque, likely of acrylic or similar plastic material - for the denomination of £500.
The plaque seen here would have been in Le Cercle casino cash desk when the casino loaned the £35,000 worth of their original plaques to the film set for use in Dr. No. As there are no confirmed screen matched plaques It is not possible to verify whether this plaque was one that featured in the film. The plaques were obtained by the vendor from the Mills estate following a period of storage.
Plaques from Le Cercle were famously used in the opening scene, where Bond speaks the immortal 'Bond, James Bond' line for the first time and there was a £500 plaque in front of James Bond as he plays at the table.
The plaque measures 11.4 x 7.8 x 0.5cm and is numbered 0050. With some warping, though still with strong colouring.
Sold for £1,700
