1814 St Vincent Token

A crude, but interesting piece. -Editor

St Lucia Geest Industries Token

St. Lucia, Geest Industries Ltd. (banana exporters), aluminium Token, plain on both sides except small G.I incuse stamp at foot of one side, central hole, 2.44g, 22mm. (Lyall 473). Small edge knock, fine, rare.

This one's less crude, but they don't come much plainer than this. I'm not sure if we've ever had a banana token before. Unusual piece. -Editor
