    Good evening everyone,

    Today I bought a rare token from Iceland. This is a token made in the 30´s for a movie theater in the Vestmannislands. The token is made in Newcastle england. The reason for it´s rarity is the fact that the theater caught fire in the late 30s and one of the workers was able to take 5 of these out of the theater while running out of the burning building.

    Interesting token! How would the token have been used - as a season pass?
