anybody read French? what are these coins?

[green papaya]

are these tokens for a French house of ill repute or something?

any idea on how old these are?

Only a little high school French here but...

Agnella was a character in Aida.

Maybe it's a commemorative of a performance? "au premier" - of the first?

2, Rue de Londres is a street address in (obviously) Paris.

The Studio - that's English, or "the" would be accented and "studio" isn't a French spelling. Name of the theatre or gallery?

You're welcome for my adding to the confusion....

Here is a photo of the corner, it is a bistro, the Cafe But. But means target btw.
