| This image | comment | a fun way of exploring and documenting intersections of place - we are
combining coins from different places in to a single
"document" and making records (rubbings) of each surface of
the coins. we then annotate these rubbings with our notes to help guide
our memories back to what we are learning! this particular picture is my document that I made yesterday. I
found an old TTC transit token tucked away and thought that would be
fun since they haven't been minted for years now, as a result of the
mass adoption of Presto cards.
after I made the rubbing of the token, I thought it would be fun to
pair with another coin that might hardly ever find themselves as
companions in the same pocket.
the 2 K? coin in my mystery coin cache caught my attention. Part of
my heart belongs in the town Plze? because my grandfather gave me some
centuries old Czech songbooks that had been given to him during a
visit to Plze? town in the 90's.
a few years after he died, I had the chance to visit the town of
Plze? in 2007. during the visit I got very sick and had to go to the
doctor, whose office was in an old sanitorium. The doctor greeted me
in english and asked me where I was from. Toronto - I said. He got
very excited - "I went to school in Toronto!"
at the end of the visit, he refused to take my cash and wished me
luck instead. As I left he was smiling to himself as he dipped back
into memories of his time in Toronto.
this coin is likely from that trip. |
