| Comment | Token used in Second World War Internment Camps (Koffiefontein, Andelusia & Baviaanspoort) The cash of the Internee was swapped for these Tokens as a measure to prevent escape. When the men were released, they were redeemed but were not allowed to be taken out of the Camps. (Engelbrecht p.129) |
