    I haven't, but they are cool. Can you tell us anything about them?

    Denominated in dollars? Written in German? Seller in Singapore?

    Perhaps SingaporeCoinGuy will see this and help us out.

    I'd guess they're in Dutch since Sumatra was part of the Netherlands East Indies.

    This is a plantation token from the former Dutch East Indies now Indonesia, island of Sumatra. There are a bunch of Dutch East Indies plantation tokens coming up for auction this weekend in Singapore and the reserve prices are all above US$50, so $9.90 seems cheap. But there are counterfeits floating around so caveat emptor.

    The area was a Dutch colony. With this being a private token it must mean that some Germans had plantations out there as well. I have never heard of that before! But it's a cool piece.

    Is there any good way to tell if it's a counterfeit?
