Union Internment Camp 6d Token (Very Rare)
Since the publication of Prof. Francois Malan's book on these tokens in 2022, there was renewed public interest in them. According to Prof. Malan ...
"The Internment camps were established to house civilians that were suspected Nazi sympathizers. The main group in this regard was the members of the Ossewa-Brandwag. The first internment camp was established on 6 September 1939 at Baviaanspoort near Pretoria. The second was Leeukop, Rivonia, near Johannesburg and it was established on 21 September 1939. This was followed by Andalusia (the current Jan Kempdorp in the Northern Cape), Ganspan (near Andalusia), Jagersfontein and Koffiefontein.

(Professor Malan's book is freely available online on the website of the Western Cape Numismatic Society).
They tokens are described by Dr. Morgan Carroll as "Very Rare".
Brian Hern catalogued these tokens 17 years ago at R1500 each - today they are of course much pricier.
The sixpence we offer here is in excellent condition.
