Comment

Göteborgs Färjetrafik (Gothenburg Ferry).  Tokens inscribed G H S (Göteborgs Hamnstyrelse, Gothenburg Harbour Board).

Between 1915 and 1921, Göteborgs Hamnstyrelse (Gothenburg Harbour Board) successively took over the running of virtually all the public ferry services across the Göta älv river.
