These three plastic chips are prototypes of the Floating Dragon casino chip in Skyfall (2012). Prop Store offered them as lot 1366 in its London 2024 live auction, with an estimate of £600 to £1,200.
In the film
After killing Patrice, Daniel Craig‘s Bond takes the Floating Dragon chip from the assassin. Prop Store says he exchanged it at the casino for a case of more chips, intended as Patrice’s reward for a recent job.
The prototypes
The chips. Three plastic chips, each about 5 x 5 x 0.5cm.
How they differ. Prop Store says they barely differ from the chip seen on screen, which suggests they were made towards the end of the design process. They are therefore prototypes rather than the screen pieces.
The screen design. The red resin chip that went on screen has its own page, Patrice’s poker chip.
Owning them now
Prop Store’s archived lot page shows the set as sold on 3 January 2025, with the price shown only to registered users. They are not for sale now. A larger group of Floating Dragon plaques is described on our Floating Dragon casino plaques page.
