Onlike all the other tokens from Ceylon MINN, this is a very modern token and uses the abbriviation MN adopted in 1963. It also does not have a stated Value but a what it can purchase
Buke's Place has a FaceBook Page which indicated it was open in 2016 and Permanently closed in 2019.

The token was scanned at 300 dpi and the images are displayed at 200 dpi. I thank Gerald Rosenberg of Ceylon MN for sending me this current token in 2003 January.
