Hi Peter,

The plantation tokens on catawiki are not all mine, there are also some pictures from the internet between them. About twelf of them are from my own collection. The triangle shaped coin (Tanah Radja) with the three holes in it I like the most.

Hi Afrasi,

Thanks for youre reply. I'm happy you like the site. At this moment I don't have any African plantation tokens or pictures of these tokens. So I don't know so much about them. Do you have any information?
I'm still building this site so when I can get enough information about african plantation tokens I can start a chapter about it, no problem. Can you help me?

I have some - mostly from Mocambique and Ethiopia - in my collection. Also I know some from Somalia and Mauritius.
Most scans are around 100 kb, because other fora allow more kb's, but I found some from Mocambique to show here without the need to screw them down.
About the tokens of Querimba and Ibu (both Mocambique) there exists a text in German language showing most of the tokens.

Hi Afrasi, When it's ok for you i can start an African chapter with the youre pictures from this item. As you may have seen I liked to put some background information about the tokens as well. Do you have more information about this tokens. Is there a cataloque or something fot african plantation tokens? Do you have more pictures of other plantation tokens I may use? And by the way you're from whitch countrie?

There are not many informations about these Mocambique tokens. A few are mentioned in Fichas Coloniais Portuguesas of Salgado/Pascoal, some more are shown in Hern's Handbook on Southern African Tokens, some abbreviations are "cracked" by me. If a German text (Yes, I am German) helps you, I will send it to you by email. If not I will translate those texts, which are directly about the tokens. I have some more tokens than shown here, but their scans are too large for this forum and I am a little bit lazy ... 
For Ethiopian Tokens you may look here:
http://www.numismatik-cafe.at/gallery/album.php?album_id=1044
For Somalia and Mauritius I would have to ask the owners, because these tokens don't belong to me.
I have scans of them, but for private purpose only.

Ok thanks for this information, I will look more closely at it when I have more time. If you have pictures that I may put on mw site you can mail tham to plantagegeld@hotmail.com. Please let my know or you like that I put youre name on that page of my site. Some collector like it to be named others like to be anonymous. May be you can ask the owners of the tokens from Somalia and Maritius or I may used pictures of their tokens on my site. I think I will be most usefull if i can show picures of all the four countries, than the African plantation token sectio nwill get enough body.
Jus think about it, It don't have to be in a hurry. I'm just started with the site and there are still a lot of other things to improve,

Hi Afrasi,

If it is Ok you can show it to the other collector of plantation tokens as well. May be they will agree I may use pictures of their tokens as well for this site. If you can sen me more information about these tokens it may be usefull. i can try to translate it from German myself.

I will send you scans of the Ethiopian tokens without stripe and some pages with informations about the the tokens from Ibu to your private email account in a few minutes. The pages are for private purpose only, because I have not all rights on some photos. The scans of the tokens are all from me (except the very last one: FC), and you may use them.

You can use all informations. They are from me. Only some pictures (landscapes and the WPCI paper) are not my property.
In the next days I will send some more scans of tokens and will ask the owners of those coins, which are not in my collection.
