This was hung on the tub/wagon to show which miners had filled which tub .
The miners were paid for the amount of stone mined,hence the need to identify the tubs.
Now in a local museum
An old(ish) Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (formerly Massachusetts Transit Authority) subway token, macro-ified. I used my 50mm 1.8 reverse-mounted onto 3 ebay extension tubes for a "poor man's macro."
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.

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.
NYC Subway Tokens are no longer used by the Transit Authority.
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.
