ISLAND OF SAL, CAPE VERDE TOKEN INFO SOUGHT

Perhaps E-Sylum readers can help with this query posted
by Mr Paul Baker of the U.K. this week on the COINS mailing
list:

"The Island of Sal is an island of Cape Verde. Recently very few
specimens of some so far unknown tokens of the Island of Sal
showed up. They were issued by the former French owners of the
salt production enterprise on the Island of Sal. There are 3 different
denominations, one of them in 2 metals and the tokens were accepted
for payment on the whole Island of Sal. Does anyone know any more
about the pieces? Has anyone ever seen them offered?"
