Signalman Adrian Vaughan hands the token for the section to Weybourne to the driver of WD 2-10-0 No.90775. Taken at Sheringham West
A very well struck and heavy specimen of the standard ramatanka temple token series. This coin is struck with a heavy silver plating and probably dates from around 1900 to 1910. Not easy to find such finely minted specimens, as this one.
The ramatanka Hindu Indian temple tokens were minted at various workshops in and around the city of Calcutta for use across Northern India. They were made primarily as votive offerings and religious gifts. All Indian temple tokens were generally used for religious purposes but there is no evidence for their use as a form of local or national currency.
The design of all ramatanka temple tokens depict various scenes from the Ramayama (Rama’s Journey), a major Indian Hindu epic.

My favourite image of the day as 34007 Wadebridge rolls the Pines Express off the viaduct , Fireman with the token out to exchange as the signalman gets into position . All taking place as snow steadily falls .
I've cropped the footbridge to exclude the gallery and removed a lime green bobble hat in the first carriage as well as a little desaturation of the colour for effect
I should also say I had my youngest in my left arm at the time whilst composing with the camera in my left and being aware of 80072 bearing down behind me
sometimes you just gotta do the little things...working on dolls is such a lengthy process, that my hands sometimes need a quick project.
I was very surprised at how tiny TTC subway tokens are! I've already misplaced one.
Here is one (bottom) shown with a quarter and toonie for scale. The weird part is that the token is the most valuable coin there ($2.25 to purchase, but pays for a $2.75 fare).
Been trying different ways to capture this.

Distribution of tokens in Tica in the Nhamatanda district of Mozambique observed today (05.04.19). Approximately 1,000 households targeted through senior barrio (area) representatives. The tokens will enable effective targeting of the most vulnerable with tarpaulins, emergency food aid and other essential items. The community representatives were shown how the tokens should be used and will be working with Caritas to arrange actual distributions of tarps and food items over the coming days. Huge need witnessed in the area visited. Some Caritas tarpaulins in evidence in the area already.

After all the jewelry the Purple Mage was obliged to wear as status markers, this little token of devotion is that much more precious to Nightowl.
Latón sólido, anverso. Ficha emitida en 1980, cuando el precio del Metro pasó a 60 centavos, sustituyendo a las monedas "Corte en "Y" grande" y la conmemorativa del 75 aniversario. Fue sustituída en 1986 por la "Ojo de Buey", cuando subió el Metro a 1 dólar.
