Representative Images
in Panama Misc Exonumia (currently in collection)
Anguilla, 1967. A Panama 1947 1B coin that has been counterstamped Anguilla Liberty Dollar / July 11  1967.  The Balboa side of the coin is counterstamped Anguilla / July 11 1967 / Liberty Dollar.  The reverse of the coin is not counterstamped, but both sides show flattened somewhat from the effects of the force used to counterstamp.   Listed in Krause Mishler with a mintage of either 90 or 91 pieces using  Panama 1B coins used from 1931, 1934, 1947 and 1953.  Also, A number of other countries coinage was also counterstamped some unique to others in the thousands issued.  The Provisional Government of Anguilla declared independence and seceded from the Federation.  However, no countries recognized them.  Eventually, Anguilla was established as  a self-governing British dependent territory.  There is no evidence that the issues of the self-proclaimed Provisional Government every actually cireculated.  The c/s may have been sold as souveirs of the revolution.  Additional information:  I have re-discovered an article from Numismatic News dated August 28, 1967 and include that as an additonal photo, which comes up by clicking onto either of the coin photos.  This articles gives additional information on the coins including possibly circulating in Anguilla.  Click onto either photo and a 3rd photo will come up that shows an original ad in Coin World, June 27, 1973 by dealer F.S. Werner, who advertised many of the varioud Anguilla pieces available for sale.  His ad indicates 90 pieces sturck on Panama 1B coins.

  • Jess Peters Auction; C.O.I.N. Auction, June 15, 1973, lot #8
