“Five Boroughs” Pentagram Token Necklace
original pentagram NYC city subway token cast in sterling silver with a matte finish on an 17.5" sterling silver chain and a lobster clasp in sterling silver
this token was newly minted in 1991 for the fare increase to $1.25, but not used at that time-instead they were held until the $1.50 fare increase in 1995.
it was finally phased out in favor of the Metrocard system, just after midnight on April 13, 2003
the token was used and shows a tiny bit of wear which adds to the character
