This is an ultra rare find !!
I have found NO reference to similar coins anywhere.
This is a 30mm penny-sized coin dated 1902.
On the obverse it is dated with the words: "BRITSCHE BESCHAVING".
On the reverse the edge wording reads: "RAGAMA KAMP HERINNERING".
In the middle of the reverse the wording reads: "SCUM OF THE SCUM".
Original owner was Cmdt CTM Wilcocks, POW RAGAMA camp Ceylon. He was captured with Gen Cronje at Paardeberg 28 Feb 1900
Although the original owner was a RAGAMA camp POW during the Anglo-Boer War, the origin of the coin is unknown.
Please look at the scans.
