Circle-shaped poster appealing to users of London Transport to pay the exact fare. The image depicts two one penny pieces, one above the other, next to a 2d. ticket, numbered '4193', and which casts a shadow. To the left of the pennies is the message, 'Exact Fare', printed in black letters, and below the image, 'Helps', printed in red, and in black, 'the conductor'. To the right of the word 'helps' is the London Transport symbol, a disk with a line across it, printed here in blue. The coins are dated 1944.
