<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1922191, member: 16994&quot;]Tortola was settled by the dutch in the mid 1600&#039;s. Before official settlement it was used by pirates such as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd as a haven. The English took control of the island in 1666 and established a plantation colony. These pieces were cut and counter stamped from captured Spanish coinage between 1805 and 1824 for general use around the island. The coin was denominated as 4 shillings 1.5 pence.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]330255[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
