FEATURED WEB SITE: SOUTH AFRICAN COINS

This week's Featured Web Site is Scott Balson's site about South African coins, token coins & bank notes from van Riebeeck to 1932.

On this web site coins and bank notes currently held by my family trust, the Balson Holdings Family Trust, like the Veld Pond, Griqua Een Pond note and German East African "siege" 15 Rupee Tabora Pound, are equated numismatically equal or lower than extraordinary and historically living trade tokens like the Strachan and Co and F C Larkan pieces - despite these tokens being worth a tiny fraction of the mainstream pieces' "investment value" at this time. (Since this web page has been established the relative investment value of these tokens has far outpaced any other traditional numismatic pieces). After 25 years of hands-on research and collecting a unique set of related books I have been fortunate to be able to re-write much of the early history of numismatics in South Africa (ie pre-1900).
