Primitive money made of copper, modeled after the shells that were used as money at the time. Also known as 'Ant Nose Money' or 'Ghost Face Money'. Hartill # 1.4 1.72 gram Nice quality. See the photos for your own impression. Will be shipped by registered mail and insured. If you win multiple lots from the same auction, you pay shipping only once.
