St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a metallic token, likely made of a silver-colored metal, with the prominent numeral "5" etched in a sizeable, bold font in the center, which is subtly textured with diagonal lines giving it a dynamic appearance. To the right of the numeral, a small lowercase “c” is inscribed, possibly indicating cents, though this isn’t a traditional currency coin. Below the numeral, within an oval border, the text “IN MDSE” is engraved, suggesting it might be a token typically used in specific transactions, like in a retail or arcade setting rather than for general money exchange. The outer edge of the token features a repeated dot pattern forming a border that adds to its detailed design. Placed on what appears to be a dark surface, the token stands out distinctly due to its bright metallic sheen, reflecting light variably across its slightly textured and engraved surface, accentuating the intricacies of the design. This might represent a non-monetary unit, potentially used in trade
