    E-NE across the South Pacific to Peru. Might've played this one before, but if so, it's been a while.

    We have stalled out for over 24 hours, so here is a coin from the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which included both northern and southern Rhodesia plus Nyasaland. 1957 Rhodesia and Nyasaland 1-2 p obv.JPG 1957 Rhodesia and Nyasaland 1-2 p rev.JPG

    Tanzania.

    This 1972 F.A.O. issue 5-shilingi piece cost me around 5-10 cents, since it was in a bulk lot I bought. Though it catalogs for a mere $2.50 In MS63, it's a keeper.

    The universal reasons to like this coin:
    • It's pretty big.
    • It has a cool decagonal (10-sided) shape.
    • The design is appealing and quintessentially African.
    • It's a pretty nice example for the type.
    My personal reasons to like this coin:
    • Nostalgia. We lived in Tanzania for a year when I was a child.
    • The coin is dated 1972, the year my family lived there.
    • The first allowance I ever received was one of these coins per week.
    • If my memories are correct, I could buy a model airplane kit with one of these.
    That's a lot of joy in a coin that's barely worth three bucks.

    Here is one from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, former Belgian Congo.
    That was a good story about Tanzania, LM. I was there in 1974 and one day I was on a big farm called Kilombero Estate on a Sunday, and the workers were getting their weekly pay. It was in coin, and the big shillingi tano coins figured heavily in that weekly wage. 2002 CD 1 f obv.JPG 2002 CD 1 f rev.JPG

    Peru. I forget how to search to ascertain whether or not one has posted a certain coin before. @lordmarcovan, please enlighten me again. 1974 PE 10 s obv.JPG 1974 PE 10 s rev.JPG

    Thank you! I see that I have posted that 1974 10 soles before, so here is one I have not yet posted in this thread. It is a tiny little rascal, 1/2 Dinero, and quite toned. 1903 PE 1-2 d obv.JPG 1903 PE 1-2 d rev.JPG

    This one is from Colombia during the same era. A little bit of a cheat here because Santander is a region in Colombia, but it is in the northeast so it does not border on Peru. Only recently discovered that this coin has been widely counterfeited so I am not sure if it is the real deal. It is a uniface coin struck on a thin flan.
