Its dated 1944 but beyond that I haven't a clue as to what it is. There is one listed on ebay for $18, but the listing provides no information about it. Anyone know what it is? Was it issued by the Italian Social Republic or the Kingdom of Italy? Any help would be greatly appreciated, -XoG Identified - moved to Tokens forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 12:24 am I don't really know much italian, but I'm reading something like "Good for one way ride" and "Milan Streetcar Company"--so I'm guessing a metro transportation token? Pretty stylish for a wartime issue token! Edited by DVCollector 12/09/2012 12:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
