Thanks for posting it: Just to ensure it is credited properly The article is posted with the permission of the editor of the New Zealand Numismatic Journal (ISSN 0028-8527). It is from Number 89, December 2009 pages 13-27) In part 1 there is one typo that I missed before publishing; the coin has been produced for 229 years not the 209 in the article. Since writing it I have done more research on why the Burgau Arms became predominant. Its a complicated story but an important factor was, IMHO, in Africa, Abyssinia, Yemen the MTT "became" a primitive currency.
