Does anyone have any information on this token? It’s country of origin and it;s use?
My psychic power tells me … no, I don’t know.
Incidentally, just because it would be an error to put an apostrophe in “its” (when used to mean “belonging to it”), it does not follow that a semicolon is correct.
If I could upload a fucking pic it might help!!!
It’s an arcade token from the 1980s.
We have a two click rule on pornography here so please don’t do that. You can link to a picture of the token however using 3rd party site like photobucket.
On one side the token has 1972 in a strange font with a block L with a telephone or pregnant woman in it, on the other side it has a large C with a T and a backwards N in what looks to be a gear or wheel.
I hate it when the phone rings and I mistakenly hold a pregnant woman to my ear.
LOL doe she have cloths on?
The backwards N could be a Cyrillic letter for P. If the token is Russian, the letters CTN in western letters would be STP. That’s all I’ve got.
You mean you can’t distinguish a pregnant woman from a telephone? You need more help than we can give.
A backwards N is not a P in Cyrillic. It’s an “i.”
Backwards N is not Cyrillic for P.
The Cyrillic P is п.
Backwards N (и) is more “ee” like in tree. So STE.
Complete shot in the dark but based on the mention of a telephone:
Could it be a pay phone token?
Three of the letters you mention could contribute to “городска́я телефо́нная сеть” or “municipal telephone network”
Those initials comprise 3 of the 4 letters mentioned (where the L is actually the Cyrillic G: г). The Y (backwards N) might be a reference to a city)?
Anyway, pure guess based on not much.
Oh, found this phone token for Yoshkar-Ola Municipal Telephone Network.
Has none of the art described but if we assume the L might be a г then all four letters are represented and there could be other more artistic tokens out there.
Right. I was remembering the stop signs in Moscow, which read CTON (or at least the last letter looked like an N).
I think what you’re remembering is it looking like CTO and a lower case N.

Yeah if it’s deeply ridged like that picture it’s some kind of soviet-era phone token. I think only Russia and Bulgaria use the Cyrillic alphabet, so that narrows it quite a bit.
Is it enameled at all? It might be a commemorative badge if so. Russkies were crazy for little enameled badges back in the day.
What color is it? Brassy? Silverish? Does it seem light or heavy for its size?
njtt is hot tonight.
Probably. That was back in 1988, so memory fades. I remember the stop signs and the PECTOPAH down the street. 
Oh jeez, another slippery slope is born. The following one may be “it&s”.
A few other countries also use said script.
There ya go – Every country that uses Cyrillic was once in the Soviet Union. There are few enough that I think the point still stands. By having Cyrillic writing on it, the possible origination points for this coin/token are fairly limited.
