Compare this piece to the brass piece in the album. The Frank side dies are slightly different (look at CAL. in relation to FRANCISCO). I am not sure where NCS got the Good For 12.5C from as this is a store card. I am not sure where they got the 1860 as the catalogs say 1867-1870.
The diesel driver and the Cyfronydd Blockman exchange the tokens that regulate the passage trains. To prevent more than one train being in a block section he Welshpool and Llanfair LIght Railway use the Staff & Ticket System.

"Brothel Token" - Novelty, but kinda cool. Picked up 7 of them for $7.00 at Canton. Only thing I bought myself!
Sainsbury's food tokens, that asylum seekers get to spend. You don't get change, there are restrictions on what you can spend them on and you couldn't exchange them for cash until the Jesuit Refugee Service got involved.
Westminster Quakers now aim to buy £200 of these vouchers (at face value) from asylum seekers each month, so that they are free to spend this money in other places than the supermarket and can get change.
I scrubbed out the numbers on these tokens.

At the Poldark Mine in Cornwall there was a machine that dispenses these tokens and they are based on Cornish pennies. You are supposed to use them in the machines but we liked one so much we ran off with it as a souvenir.
We went to the arcade yesterday but played only one game: basketball. We got so obsessed with beating the high score. Hahaha!
I have no idea what this is for. The ring is raised and almost as thick as the edge. It appears to be made from tool steel, thus ruling out the possibility that it might be something like an arcade token.
We call them tokens, or gestures: “what a lovely gesture, thank you for your token of kindness.”
These words are diminutive. That small gesture, that seemingly-insignificant token can be the world. The little things that we do to remind people that we care, that we are thinking of them, that their presence in our lives — in no matter what capacity it may be — makes our world a better place, those are things that resonate long after their immediate impact is felt.
That card that came in the mail is not just a pretty piece of stationery, but instead a reminder that someone is missing you, that without you nearby there is a small absence in their heart. That plant left on your desk is not just something to brighten up the office, but a way to show appreciation for the mentorship and guidance you have given someone, guidance that has helped them find a new path.
They are tokens, gestures; we may forget them quickly, but the feelings behind them linger long after that gesture or token has faded from memory.
The only state highway in the United States that cars aren't allowed to travel on. It follows the perimeter of the island the whole time, and you're always right on the shore. It was awesome.
Ribbon tied as an offering on a tree beside Long Meg and her Daughters.
"Long Meg and Her Daughters is a Bronze Age stone circle near Penrith in Cumbria, North West England.
"One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age.
"The stone circle is the sixth-biggest example known from this part of north-western Europe, being slightly smaller than the rings at Stanton Drew in Somerset, the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney and Newgrange in County Meath.
"It primarily consists of 59 stones (of which 27 remain upright) set in an oval shape measuring 100 m on its long axis. There may originally have been as many as 70 stones. Long Meg herself is a 3.6 m high monolith of red sandstone 25 m to the southwest of the circle made by her daughters. Long Meg is marked with examples of megalithic art including a cup and ring mark, a spiral and rings of concentric circles.
"The most famous of the many legends that surround the stones is that they were once a coven of witches who were turned to stone by a wizard from Scotland named Michael Scot. It is said the stones cannot be counted - but, if anyone is able to count them twice and come to the same total - the spell will be broken or it will bring very bad luck. Another legend states that if you walk round the circles and count the number of stones correctly, then put your ear to Long Meg, you will hear her whisper. The name itself is said to come from a local witch, Meg of Meldon, who was alive in the early 17th century. From a certain angle, the Long Meg stone resembles the profile of a witch. Long animal bones found buried at the site may have been misinterpreted in the past as a 'Giant's bone and body'."
