Watch List notes:

BERMUDA. SOMMER ISLANDS CO. "Hogge" money shilling imitation, white metal. 12.50 gm. 32 mm. A wild hog left, XII above; SOMMER ISLANDS around / Ship in full sail. FDC."Hogge" money was struck in Bermuda between 1616 and 1619. The "hogge" was chosen because of the many wild hogs the early settlers encountered. The genuine coins are extremely rare, usually in marginal condition and very expensive. Imitations such as this reflect both that early history and the quaint appeal of the design.
