Comment

Withers: The imitation Ponde were used as gaming counters.

There are 13 known varieties of the 1 Pond imitation. The varieties have been made from combinations of 10 different obverse die types and 8 different reverse die types. The dies types have been numbered; 1-10 in the obverse description and 1-8 in the reverse description. The differences are sometimes minor.

The imitation Ponde were not well made. The composition of the alloy, the diameter and the weight vary considerably.

 

Several variants of this token exist. More information on the history of the tokens and some of the variants can be found in the following link. africa.worldofcoins.eu/aftsou2.htm
