Amsterdamsche Omnibus Onderneming, penning van een controleur 1839

This small, circular bronze token, created in 1839 by an anonymous artist, was likely used by a conductor of the Amsterdamsche Omnibus Onderneming (Amsterdam Omnibus Company) in the Netherlands. The token is inscribed with "Amsterdamsche Omnibus Onderneming" and "penning van een controleur" which translates to "Amsterdam Omnibus Company" and "coin of a controller." It is a rare and fascinating artifact that provides insight into the early days of public transportation in Amsterdam.
