Comment

Part of a series of 12 replicas of coins that historically circulated at the Cape of Good Hope during successive periods of Dutch and British occupation. These replicas were distributed by the Van Riebeeck coffee brand in South Africa and one of them was included in every tin of coffee.

This specific token is a replica of the 4 ¾ Stuiver "bonk" bar (N#144291).
