Perfunctory; symbol (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

token

I believe this is a double definition.

'perfunctory' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'symbol' is the second definition.
(I know that token is a type of symbol)

(Other definitions for token that I've seen before include "Symbol; metal disc" , "Something of sentimental value" , "Gift voucher - symbol" , "empty gesture?" , "Voucher (for, eg, books)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
