1 Piaster Token, Mikweh Yisrael, C. 1885, Rated NGC

Token issued by the agricultural school at Mikweh Israel to be used by the students and the community. The token is equivalent to one piaster, but the name of the coin is not written on the token, apparently out of concern for the Ottoman authorities.
