Unknown Token - Is 'T Veilig

6 berichten • 83 keer bekeken
Hello

I have a strange token in my collection and I was hoping for:
1. Some more information on it.
2. Whether or not it can be included on the catalogue.

I can't remember when or where I acquired this coin but it would have been in the early 1980s in South Africa. It is part of the collection I had as a child.

Pictures:





It weighs about 3g and seems to be made of aluminium. Diameter about 32mm. It's in Dutch, "Vraag Bij Al Wat U Doet Is 'T Veilig?", or Ask With Everything You Do Is It Safe?" Dutch was still widely spoken in South Africa in the early part of the twentieth century.

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Ryan
It looks like a token from an insurance company
like "De VoorZorg" or "Socialistische Mutualiteiten"

Face:
a precaution against accidents
is it safe

Reverse:
ask what you do
is it safe
for example, unsanitary dangers are discovered as a precautionary measure, and accidents are used

​It s not exactly nowadays Dutch what they speak in South-Africa but a little simplified (maybe 'childish' in our ears) Dutch, what is called Afrikaans.
...you can run,  but you can't hide...
Thanks for the translation Frenchlover, better than my attempt.

Good to hear that it's not modern Dutch, yvon. It's not Afrikaans either (I'm fluent in Afrikaans). That should mean it's an embryonic version of Afrikaans spoken by the locals as opposed to the Dutch immigrants who still spoke Dutch. That means it is a South African coin/token.

Thanks for the help.

:D Google traduction is more or less fluent in any language
Even if it is not always necessary to understand a language to understand its soul

​I go for the suggestion of Frenchlover that it's a publicity token of a (health) insurance company. The language is modern Dutch, to me it sounds like the Belgian version (Flemish) from about 50 years ago.
Though I cannot seem to find anything related to the slogans on this token ...

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
