H. Marshall Hole was Civil Commissioner of Bulawayo during the Second Matabele War's aftermath, and these card tokens were issued out of sheer practical necessity — the region had virtually no small-denomination coinage in circulation and the nearest mint was thousands of miles away. Chronicle Printing Works was a local newspaper printer, not a security printer by any measure, which is exactly what these pieces look like.
The official stamp substitutes for any meaningful anti-counterfeiting measure. Given the tiny issuing population and the remote conditions of Bulawayo in 1900, that was probably sufficient.
