Minsk Metro Commemorative Token Sold for a High Price
Threads user Olga noticed an advertisement on Ozon for the sale of a commemorative token of the capital's metro, featuring the contours of the "Kastrychnitskaya" metro station on its obverse. Its price is set almost 52 times higher than a regular token — 60.07 rubles.
A collectible series of tokens depicting the contours of the stations of the first "blue" line was released in 2014 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Minsk Metro, writes Mlyn.by.
This token, like others from this series, is sold on many platforms. It can be found on various Russian flea markets for numismatists and on "Yandex Market."
In Threads, many users were surprised by such an offer for a regular travel token, however, there were also those who understand the value of this item. Some shared that they once collected such a collection themselves.
