This South African trading store had three tokens, a 3d (in copper) and 6d and 1/- (in brass) issued in 1861. The coins were created because of the shortage of coins from the Crown circulating in what was then a remote region of the British Empire.I am selling all three.

They are all extremely rare today.

The company was a General Merchant and Shipping Agent. It traded from West St in Durban from 1834 but was burnt down on 1st May 1864.
