    Uganda

    edit; Looks like you can't get here (Uganda) from there (Ethiopia) without crossing through Kenya or South Sudan. :banghead: My apologies.

    Indeed! Wow, you remember the tale. One of those Tanzanian 5-shilingi coins was my weekly allowance when I was a 6-7 year old kid and we lived over there in 1972.

    I've had a fondness for the type ever since, so when I found that apparently Mint State example from just the right year in a bulk lot a while back, I was tickled. (Hadn't saved any from our time in Tanzania.)

    Eventually I intend to send that coin off to PCGS and subsequently add it to the Eclectic Box collection, even though by so doing I will essentially be spending close to 50 bucks to slab a coin that's worth about three bucks.

    BTW, @coin_nut, your mystery gift package has landed and awaits me downtown at the post office. I got a notification slip the other day when I missed the carrier. So thanks in advance. I remain in suspense for the moment! :)

    Playing from @Stork's Somali coin, we sail due East from the coast of Somalia on the horn of Africa, slip beneath the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent, and land on Sri Lanka, which of course used to be known as Ceylon in British colonial times.

    Cyprus.

    Bad image (scan). Probably cleaned, but a tough coin in nicer than usual grade.
