A Numismatic Game - Search For "Islands" On Coins And Tokens!

oops ...please remove...not a USA island ... sorry ...

Yes, thank you. I have seen many different numismatics with the inscriptions Ellis Island, Liberty Island, as well as a number of numismatics with the inscription Bedloe Island.



But I haven't found anything in numismatics about the third island yet - Black Tom Island. I wonder if there are any tokens or medals about him?

I was able to find several different series for Governors Island. I assume that all these different tokens refer to this one island in New York:

Govenors Island, 1¢ , 5¢, 25¢, tokens

I decided to research the numismatics for the forts on these islands. The token shown above is:

Ft Wood, N.Y. (Liberty Island) 5¢ token. The 5 cent denomination is the only one I know of so far. Who knows more about this?..

Further you can look at the Governors Island and the Fort Jay which is located on it. The only denomination I know is 1 cent. Who knows more about this?:

Fort Jay, N.Y. (Governor's Island) 1¢ military trade token




Then I looked for a fort on Ellis Island and found Fort Gibson on it. But I couldn't find any military trade tokens for this fort yet. Who knows more about this?

A new puzzle about the game. There are 5-cent tokens. The name refers to a small island in Japan that likely housed an American military base. However, there's very little information about this, and these tokens can't be found in catalogs. Below are photos of three examples (the obverse and reverse are almost identical).

OKUSHIRI SHIMA Air Force Det. Military Trade token. copper. Measures 21mm ; Okushiri island, (Okushirijima)

Thank you. I've been researching this topic about the Japanese islands for a long time (which no one has yet properly explored). The catalogs show a wide variety of tokens for Okinawa. Some tokens for the Ryukyu Islands are also shown separately. There are two versions of tokens for Kumeshima Island...

Okushirishima Island tokens remain unknown to numismatics. And here's another island, Miyako, with a military token known so far only for its 25-cent denomination. It is believed to be one of the Miyako Islands, off Okinawa, Japan. I don't have a catalog to confirm this. In general, I study the numismatics of each individual island in Japan in this way. There are several thousand separate islands, each with its own name and its own coins. Some tokens were made by Americans:

Miyako island, Japan, Okinawa islands, 25¢ token

Let's continue the game. One day, I was leafing through an old magazine and saw that there was a farmer in Gibson Island, Maryland, who issued his own tokens. I kept the text description because there were no photos. And the only token with similar characteristics and a denomination of "15" was all I could find. But I'm not sure if this token in the photo can really be called a "Gibson Island token"? Take a look and tell me the answer if you know.. :
