The image displays a round, wooden token featuring the text "WOODEN NICKEL" prominently curved along the top and bottom, encircling a profile illustration of a Native American in the center. The etching is stylized and simplistic, with bold outlines emphasizing facial features such as the nose and lips, as well as details like the feather in the hair. Below the illustration, additional text reads "FREE CUP OF COFFEE," suggesting the token may be used as a voucher or promotional item. The background is a textured wooden surface, adding a tactile element to the visual appeal of the token.
