The image depicts a round brass-colored token with a triangular cutout in the center, which features a design indicating it is "good for 5 cents in trade." The words "GOOD FOR" are embossed at the top, while the bottom reads "IN TRADE," and the number "5" along with the cent symbol are prominently featured on its surface. This type of token was likely used in a local trade setting, possibly in a smaller community or business as a form of currency or discount. The token's metal surface is somewhat worn, signifying it may have been circulated frequently.
