Necklace comes packaged with a printed history of the NYC tokens in a muslin drawstring bag.  This large token with the "Y cutout" was the second token design used.  They were in use from 1970-1980. The NYC subway token was first introduced in 1953. Over the next 50 years, 6 variations were designed and minted, becoming well-known symbols of the bustling underground transit system. Just after midnight on April 13, 2003, the tokens were phased out.
