Purchase
Description
This book is the result of 13 to 14 years of hunting by the author for Caribbean tokens together with the research necessary to identify details of the issuers and their business details. It is presented to all those interested in the study and collecting of Caribbean tokens and associated history. That said, the author anticipated that additional Caribbean tokens are yet to be discovered, especially from businesses involved in the banana business in Jamaica and the estates in Trinidad.
The countries did, in many cases used the British monetary system and thus most of tokens presented are denominated in pounds, shillings and pence.
Included in this catalog are over 450 photographs, a wealth of historical data, rarities, and a comprehensive index.
