7. Bakelite Cinco Centavo Tokens Issued by Hacienda El Progreso

Description:
Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.
