    Description

    On July 25, 1953, New York City’s subway fare was raised to 15 cents. Instead of making subway riders have three nickels each time, the city introduced the subway token, which became a symbol of the city until it was phased out for the MetroCard in 2003.
    The initial subway token design featured the initials NYC in the center, with the Y cut out. This design was used until 1979.
    Now you can own or gift a piece of NYC history!
    Great souvenir to have if you're from NYC. Reminds many of their childhood.
    Listing is for 1 coin.
