    Another exciting find for South African Tokens. An unrecorded F.S.D.E & Co Ld (
    Frank Smith Diamond Estates & Exploration Co
    ) 1/- has been unearthed. No previous record of a 1/- has been noted. The only known denomination is a 2/6 of which only 3 are known according to Brian Hern's token book. The token is listed on page 101. F.S.D.E hails from the Cape Province, Barkley West.
    The token is Brass, and is uniface.
    Now if one has to look back over the past year and a half, there has been quite a number of new or unrecored tokens surfacing.

Pending' this arrangement they had been husbanding their rcsouices.    . The report was adopted. As regarded the fusnon resolution, there was not a quorum present, end the meeting was adjourned to July 29.
