These metal forms ( see #9 ) were made to hold a set number of coins, usually from British West Africa, to make an object of tradeable value. They were recognized and used as currency and could be broken up for smaller transactions. They have been vetted as authentic.
The attached coins are either half-penny or tenth-penny coins from British West Africa and date from the 30's & 40's up to1950. There are rarely a few Federation of Nigeria coins from 1959.
The Yoruba Currency Objects are on gourds.
