    Here is a 50th anniversary Triborough bridge and tunnel authority token that I have had for many years. I believe it was given by an employee to my mother. It is obviously a commomorative piece. I cannot find any info on it. It is pressed firmly into a metal disc and appears to be plated. I'd appreciate any insight or opinions. 191204_083338.jpg 191204_083550.jpg

    I found this at the Token and Medal Society site. I don't know if the reference mentioned will help or not.

    You couldn't find anything here? I've never even heard of this.....

    "The reference work on this type of token is the “Atwood-Coffee Catalog of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens" published by the American Vecturist Association."

    Gilt plated Commemorative Medallion issued for 50th Anniversary of Triborough Bridge by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. Not an issued token for circulation for payment of toll.
