What type of colonial coinage was used it Africa?

I am interested in colonial coins from Africa.

1: Was there any Dutch Gold Coast coinage?

2: What type of coinage was used in some of the early British/French/Dutch settlements?

1. Which period? Pre1821 there is no reliable history. Between 1821 and 1874 it was that of Sierra Leone. After that it's a little murky, they used goods for services and gold dust/rocks by weight periquins/ackies etc along with European currency for a while - A few dutch silver coins were there, but not much. A bit more dutch silver after 1870

2. European coinage, by proclamation. For the most part.

I am talking about mid 1600's 1700's era.

No data as far as I'm aware.
