monkey and token

[notletrest]

(The text tells us : trained monkeys know how to use token for food ,doesn't tell how many tokens each monkey has, and monkeys like grapes more than cucumber. )
"So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token , the sencond (who saw the fact.) was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber."
My question is : Can you say " her token " refers to one token ？

thanks!

The absence of a plural ending on the word 'token' strongly suggests that there was one token - unless the writer made a slip.

Very good answer it is. It seems a small matter, but matters a great deal.
Thanks to you for your detailed explanation!
