CAPE VERDE SALINA TOKEN INFORMATION

Bob Lyall writes: "Paul Baker asked about the Cape Verde
tokens - I remember some of these being listed on dealers
lists in the past - probably either Jerry Schimmel (San
Francisco) or Cyril Fox (Australia). They are salina tokens
(salt ponds, such tokens also used in the Bahamas and Turks
& Caicos islands) and were catalogued by Salgado and Pascoal
15 years ago in "Portugiesische Kolonialwertmarken". It
seems not all Salinas used tokens. I checked one in Malta
some 15 years ago but they said they had never used tokens,
sadly."
