St. Joseph Museums

The image shows an octagonal brass token. The token is inscribed with the text "AL. ROMIG" at the top and "80. 10TH ST." at the bottom, which suggests a location or address. In the center, the number "1224" is prominently displayed, flanked by decorative elements including a small crown icon above the numbers and possibly some tiny symbols below. The token appears to be worn, indicating age or frequent use, and it may have served a specific purpose such as a trade token or a form of identification. The overall coloration is a warm golden brown, and the raised lettering is highlighted by the lighting, which creates shadows that accentuate the details of the inscription.
