Paddy, I've been after a EVII and GV Guiana 4d for a while, (GV with West Indies type) lucky to have one even in that grade !

 

Your comment Mark comes as an extraordinary coincidence! I was packing up to go to a show tomorrow and thought I would put aside some British Empire coins to post on this thread - and a GV British Guiana was among them! I suspect this is not the West Indies variation, but still interesting.
The other two are a GV 1933 Hong Kong 5c and an 1899 Vic 10c from Ceylon.

 

Haha, yeah that's a different variation I have that type, is only the 2 I mentioned that I need now for them all.. And a British Guiana 1/8 guilder then I have all variations of them because the 4d replaced it

 

Sadly the EVII Fourpence was for sale too - but has gone now. I will try to keep an eye out for any more.

 

No problem cheers paddy !

 

These were the other Colonial coins I put aside to show here:

Hong Kong One cent 1901,
Straits Settlements One Cent 1862,
British West Africa Two shillings 1938,
and four Travancore Cash from around 1901.

 

Nice coins fellows

Here's some more, unfortunately the seller sent a straits 1/2c instead of the st.helena 1/2 penny so i am
Now waiting for the half penny (that is if the person who received it returns it as its in a good condition and is worth alot more than the 1/2c)

 

Yarm that is one super Canuck token. The best I ever saw of the type.

 

While at the coin fair today, I had a chance to search my "South America" box more carefully, and turned up this one, which I think is the one you are after? It has seen better days, but is it any use to you?

 

That's a beauty Yarm! Love the detail on it

 

My 1 1/2 pence made it here. It's a Jamaican one. Tiny too and the 2 of 1/2 is doubled .but size who could see that well ? 1842

I was trying to think of a British Empire territory not yet represented in this thread - this one is actually pre-empire and dates from 1819, the reign of George III, during which time, for a while, we had control of the Ionian Islands in the Eastern Mediterranean, now part of Greece:
