Item Details

Description

Vormünzliches Zahlungsmittel, "handa"
Katanga Provinz, DR Kongo
Ohne Sockel / without base
Kupfer. L 29 cm.

Provenienz:
Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Aufgrund des Wertes des verarbeiteten Rohstoffes (Kupfer) wurden solche Kreuze ("Katanga-Kreuze") im Handel als vormünzliche Zahlungsmittel verwendet. Dieses sog. Primitivgeld wurde in standardisierter Form gegossen und über weite Strecken getauscht.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts verboten dann die meisten Kolonialmächte diese Geldformen als Zahlungsmittel, um ihre eigenen Währungen zu etablieren.
