Comments

This is a token of the socialist consumer organization (or cooperative) Vooruit (Forward) (1880-1970) which was founded as a cooperative bakery to protect the factory workers against the instability of big capital. The token bears the date 1880, the year that Vooruit was established in Ghent (Belgium), later editions were always issued with the year 1880. Dendermonde (Belgium) joined Vooruit much later, but the 1880 remained on the tokens.
