St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a round, metallic token with a golden hue, inscribed with the phrase "GOOD FOR" across the top and "IN TRADE" across the bottom, surrounding a central, prominent "5¢" marking, indicating its value. This type of token was historically used in trade or as currency in specific stores or establishments instead of actual money. Its surface is textured and slightly worn, suggesting it has been in circulation or possession for some time. The edges are decorated with small, evenly spaced indentations, which add to the design's detailed appearance. On a black background, the token stands out, highlighting its rich color and well-defined inscriptions.
