Griqualand ca1920 2/- Token Strachan and Co

These tokens were used in East Griqualand (later the Transkei homeland) until 1932. This example is of the "New" variety, the last of the series. All of the tokens were holed at 12 o'clock.
"The Strachan & Co tokens were minted in Europe, and first issued in 1874. The most sought after and best researched South African trade token. There are only 60 full sets known to exist in the world.
Over 20,000 coins were counted in 1980 when research on these tokens was first undertaken in Umzimkulu by Scott Balson."
