Comment

Finca Galingagua is located in Usulutan, El Salvador, and was owned by former Salvadoran President Manuel Enrique Araujo. While no date is included on the token, it was minted in 1911. This token is an example of the tokens used on the coffee plantations in El Salvador in the late 19th and early 20th century.
