1900 BOER WAR Marshall Hole Currency Card - The Civil Commissioner Bulawayo

 

The Civil Commissioner of the small evolving town of Bulawayo and highly placed official in the British South Africa Company
(1891 - 1928), Hugh Marshall Hole, followed Baden-Powell's lead and issued his own interim "stamp money" affectionately known as "card currency" (see below). On one side of the card a stamp was affixed with its value being the amount that could be redeemed once the currency shortage was alleviated - but not after the 1st October 1900. 

The other side of the card notes how they might be redeemed and is counter signed by "H Marshall Hole" signature (facsimile). The siege of Mafeking and the cutting of the rail line nearby by the boers had effectively cut off Bulawayo and the British South Africa Company, the region's de facto government from Cecil Rhodes and the Cape - their financial lifeline. 

Estimate Value: R4 000.00 - R6 000.00
