Dr. Carroll added this information about the Griquatown coins. Thank you. Further inquiries can be directed to him at morganthebrave@yahoo.com . -Editor

The Carroll / Stuart investigation report into the Griquatown coinage (1817) is included in the catalog. This report clarifies all the mystery around the Griquatown coinage of 1817 in South Africa.

Several auction houses (I recall HA recently listed a coin) have listed a few of these rare coins but there was always uncertainty surrounding the claim that they were tokens. The Carroll / Stuart report delved into the archives of many missionary societies throughout Great Britain, extending to local research in South Africa and some clarity on shipping liner transportation undertaken in the USA and uncovered hard evidence of the intent, amount and issuance date of these coins.

Furthermore there is new information on various South Africa coins and currency coins which your readers would find most fascinating.
