Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 03/08/2013 6:29 pm This token is 21 mm, plain edge, non magnetic. It has a geometric design with the initials TC on both sides. I thought it might stand for Transit Commission but where? Can any member ID this token? Jpegs attached. Edited by Imasnore 03/09/2013 04:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 02:06 am Any time I see "TC" I think "Turkiye Cumhuriyeti" â€" the Turkish Republic. They use those initials everywhere. The photograph gives the impression that this piece has the ring-&-plug structure characteristic of a bimetallic coin. Is that a real circumferential seam? A quick perusal doesn't show any 21 mm bimetallics it could be a trial piece for, though. I'd say that was a small size for a bimetallic, if I hadn't been in Toronto recently, where the TTC tokens are bimetallics of about 15 mm. Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 08:15 am I swung by Toronto International recently and they had donation bins FULL of foreign coins - including pre-euro... I was banging on the glass... and I saw one of those tiny TTC tokens. It says what it is right on it, but it sure gave my eyes a workout... Turkey seems likely, but it could also be "Transit C[city name]". Very mysterious. Report this Post to the Staff
