Ineson 303

Cape/Kimberley.  1899-1900 BOER WAR RATION TOKEN (Pale Green) for THREE PINTS OF SOUP, which had to be collected at the Town Hall Depot, Kimberley.  Type1.  Very fine with traces of toning and slight damage to bottom left corner.  THESE TOKENS ARE VERY RARE AND HARDLY EVER FOUND IN GOOD CONDITION.  THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE HISTORIC ITEM IN THAT IT WAS PHYSICALLY HANDLED AND USED BY SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE, LIVING, AT THE TIME OF THIS DREADFUL WAR.
