Gettone Telfonico= Italian telehpone token.
The first two numbers are the year of use, the second two the month.

The mark above the Gettone on the token to the right is the Mintmark; either a CMM or ESM--standing for Costruzioni Minuterie Metalliche or Emilio Senesi Medaglie.

cool website thanks JG i found all of them...i knew where they came from and what they were because we used them all the time....had no idea on their present value ....wonder why the newer tokens are worth more than the older ones
Mack....looks like you are familiar with the phone tokens...i got them from my nephew and brother-in-law who lived there for a few years....seems i remember the thing about the dates...didn't know that was a mint mark...you are right it is Emilio Senesi Medaglie....very cool thanks for the website too

MrG:
Thanks, I enjoyed doing the research. BTW, that token was minted in Milan, Italy.
