Numismatic tour of the French colonies: Other African countries

Today in our tour we're going to jump around a bit as we spend our last day in Africa. There are a few French African colonies that either had very few coins or for which I own very few, and I'm going to cover them together.

First off is Algeria. Only three official coin types were minted for Algeria under French control, and here they are.

Next up is French Somaliland. There are actually several different coins made for this territory but I possess only a few. Here's mine. Feel free to add yours.

 

Next up is French Afars and Issas. I only have one coin from here, so help me out!

 

Finally is Reunion, which is an island east of Madagascar. I only have two coins from Reunion, but there are also 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 franc coins.

 

French Afars and Issas.
20 francs 1975.

 

I only had one coin from these territories, a 1 Franc from Somaliland.

 

Here's a few new ones.
