Christopher George Henderson moved to Collie in 1899 and helped to found the Collie Co-operative Society. There is a reference in TROVE to the Collie Co-operative Society in the 1919 Argus, and in the WA Parliament Legislative Assembly Wednesday, 6th September, 1944 Hansard. The Co-operative closed in 1982.

The reverse is blank for each of these tokens.

These tokens were certainly in use in the 1950s.
