Here's a wild card. This is a Boordgeld token from the late 1940's. They were used on ships out of ports in the Netherlands. At the time Dutch currency could not be exported so the tokens could be purchased for use on the ships in transit. Destination port is your choice.

Well, I took your steamer (turning the reverse of your Boordgeld token upside down so it reads SMN, Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland) and went a few centuries back in time.

After a long but tranquil voyage, I arrived in China, 17th century, where this coin was issued shortly before the accession of the Qing dynasty by the Manchurian Khan Nurhaqi (1559-1626), also known as Nurhaci, you know.
