The token on the left in that picture was issued in 2003 by postal
mail to a Sloane Digital Sky Survey collaborator at the US Naval
Observatory. All incoming packages were subjected to high doses of
electron and x-ray radiation, as it is also the residence of the Vice
President.
On the right is the normal appearance of the token and its holder.
