St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a metallic token or coin with an inscribed design featuring the words "YORKVILLE TRANSIT LINES" around the edge in uppercase letters. At the center, there is a large, prominent letter "K" with cutout sections around it, creating a stencil-like appearance. Below the letter "K" is the year "1939," indicating the token's age or year of minting. The metal has a textured pattern that gives the token a rough, crosshatch look, adding to its vintage and historic feel. The lighting is even, highlighting the texture and inscriptions of the token. The item likely served as a fare token for a transit system, reflecting a piece of transportation history.
