Another macro shot consistent with this week's theme. These are the tokens for the Toronto transit system. They're small -- about the size of a dime (Canada or US). I like the design of these tokens. This "new" design was introduced in 2006 to make them harder to counterfeit.

We managed to speak to the station staff about the future of the line and were invited into the Station Master's office where the Assistant Station Master is seen posing with the Neale's Ball Token Instruments that control movements from Sasan Gir to Kansiya Nes and Talala Junction.
There were more boys invited I think but only these three showed up! They were slightly outnumbered but when it came to tea they did quite well most of the girls sat at the other table!
Archduke Maximilian of Austria and his wife Princess Carlota of Belgium, appointed by Napoleon III, took the throne of Mexico as Emperor and Empress in 1864. The people of Mexico, rejecting the foreign rule, forced the French troops to pull out. Emperor Maximilian chose to stay, and on June 10th, 1867 he was executed. During his reign, coins were struck with his bust on the obverse, and the Mexico Coat of Arms on the reverse. This obverse is what was copied for the Maximilian tokens.
Each token can be bought for 20 baht. It's value can be used to purchase food and beverage at the floating market in Ancient Siam park.
