Comment
It was also used in Lithuania in the early 90's for urban payphones.Interesting fact
An interesting fact about this Telephone Token is that it was issued during a period of strict government regulation on the telecommunications industry in the United Kingdom. These tokens were issued by the British government to help control the cost of telephone calls and prevent service providers from overcharging customers. The coin, marked "STA ND," was used as a form of payment for telephone services during the mid-20th century.
