SIERRA LEONE: AE penny token (17.01g), 1807, KM-Tn1.1, bronze "slave trade abolished" token, Very Fine.

David Vice says in his Coinage of British West Africa, that the pieces made not in proof state were intended to circulate at trading establishments in Sierra Leone. Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807 and the following year took over this territory from the Sierra Leone Company of London. This interesting and historic piece thereby marks a sea change for the colony. Examples weighing over 24 grams are not tokens but medals struck after 1814.

SWEDEN: AE daler, 1718, KM-357, Görtz emergency daler, About Uncirculated.

Swedish war emergency money issued from 1715 to 1719 in copper coins to replace the much larger silver daler in use before the war. The name Görtz daler refers to Gottorp-Holstein's baron Georg Heinrich von Schlitz (called Görtz), Geheimrat and finance minister at the time. To prevent forgeries Sweden's government issued 10 different types in successive editions.

Sweden's governemnt ultimately failed to buy the old coins from the market and to exchange them for coins of a more appropriate nominal value. In February 1719 Görtz had to pay for the general dissatisfation with his beheading in Stockholm. The government's promise to accept the worthless coins as proper payment as soon as peace arrived was hardly kept after the piece of Nystad in 1721. Coins were accepted yet only for half their nominal value at 16 öre. The remaining coins began to circulate as 1 öre coins with some of them were overstruck with the new value.
