Token in Cyrillic

23mm, brass

Stanislav writes: This token is in use in Saint-Petersburg (former Leningrad) underground railway (subway or metro or metropolitain, so you can see large letter "M"). This token have many varieties on details of obverse and reverse, O/R turns and colour. But this token NEVER replaced by plastic tokens. There is no any plastic tokens in Saint-Petersburg subway. If you need more information on another subway tokens, I have catalogue "Metro tokens which had and have circulations on the territory of ex-USSR".
Your unidentified token with Cyrillic inscription is actually from Sanktpetersburg (Leningrad), Russia. It is a transportation token, valid one fare (inscription above the large M) in METROPOLITEN (=subway) (under M). The inscription on the other side reads SANKTPETERBURG. It was in use since late 1991 or early 1992, later it was replaced with a plastic token.
