New Zealand 19th century trade tokens

19 Apr 2015

A collection of New Zealand tokens. In the 19th century there was a shortage of coin in New Zealand. Tradesmen and companies copied Uk history and produced their own penny and half penny tokens

Very nice collection. I did not know these pieces existed. I'd like to know more about them. I had a small collection of NZ coins at one time.

Ian, You know this might be a good segment to add to your presentation in Colorado Springs. This way you could add more interest and bring a new fascet to another collector!?:-)

I first started collecting coins around 2003, I had very eclectic tastes meaning I was a magpie style collector. I'm a kiwi and I recall when being very youg seeing a couple of trade tokens my father had... he never let us touch them. So around 2005 I started collecting NZ tokens, amongst other coins. This small collection probably covers five years of collecting through auction and ebay. around 2009/2010 I started to focus on my main interest original and restrike Maria theresa thalers , I think the last token in this collection was purchased in 2011.
