Description: | CULT Unknown Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea West Africa These iron forms were recognized and used as currency for small transactions. They were sometimes twisted together to create higher values. They were called the coins with soul, and if a penny was broken, it could not circulate until repaired by a blacksmith, who would restore its "soul." Kissi pennies were traded throughout Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PRIMITIVE MONEY : CURRENCY : : DIVERSITY_WEEK : WEST AFRICA : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
