| Aanvullende informatie |
In 1967, Anguilla expelled the Saint Kitts police force and unilaterally broke from the Associated State of Saint Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla — a secession the British government initially refused to recognize. With no functioning revenue and an urgent need to assert independent authority, the provisional government improvised its currency by counterstamping existing Mexican 5 Peso coins still in circulation across the Caribbean. The choice was pragmatic: the Pesos were silver, widely accepted, and already present on the island.
X#1 designates this as the first listing in Krause's unusual world coins volume — fitting for one of the more makeshift monetary instruments of twentieth-century independence movements.
