metro token 1994 a necklace with a story This project is more than just an accessory—it's a way to reinterpret urban artifacts. The necklace featuring a 1994 Kyiv Metro token is a symbol of mutual support, economic challenges, and the city's adaptation to new realities. The 1994 token was born from a unique collaboration between the Kyiv Metro and Aval Bank. During a financial crisis marked by inflation and budget deficits, the bank funded the production of metro tokens, imprinting its logo on them. This was more than just a marketing move; it was an act of rescue. The metro received the tokens it desperately needed, while the bank gained advertising and the trust of thousands of daily commuters. Today, this token is not just a relic of the past but an artifact of transformation. Heavy, copper, and embossed with history, it reminds us of the turbulent 90s—an era when the city and businesses had to support each other to survive. By turning the token into a necklace, we give it a new life—as a stylish and meaningful accessory carrying the imprint of time. This is not just jewelry; it is a story you can wear.
