Great coins guys! Keep'em comin'. Thanks Eugene & Derick for the great posts.

 

Just joking, see have some nice Ancients there now!

 

Nice one ,was it ever circulated?

 

I don't believe that the large silver coin ever circulated anywhere. The other side of the Dahomey coin depicts a beautiful naked Somba Woman. She is a PF67 Ultra Cameo. You should check-it-out in your Krause catalog.

The Marxist-Leninist revolutionary ethos appealed to Africans because Russia and China had used it to throw out foreign (European and US) overlords and meddlers.

 

I have a feeling Gem coins are going to be hard to find in this series. I plan on requesting a better specimen.

 

1866 - 1966 Sterling Silver Medal - South Africa "University of Stellenbosh
1960 - UNC Silver $5 - South Africa
1961 - UNC Silver $2 1/2 cents - South Africa

 

Eugene's Zanzibar is nicer than mine but it's just so cool to have a coin from Zanzibar. Also 1961 South Africa set, strange that it has a silver 2-1/2 cent.
