18mm, copper
About this token:
- Henry writes: Pepsi used two dots between Pepsi:Cola until sometime in the
60's.
- Bob writes: the text translates as "Drink Pepsi-Cola Trademark Registered"
/ "Use only in Pepsi-Cola Vending Machines"
- Willy writes: TOME & SLAMA were in the soft drink business together until
about 1907. Slama continued alone throughout WWI, while Tome fell off the
map.
- used in Mexico/Central/South America in "tourist" locations where drinks
were relatively less expensive because the local coinage was worthless due
to hyperinflation
