    Really nice HKMAL and Randy. I really like the antelope on the Djibouti coin.

    Thanks for your sharing Randy. Both are issued by the Chamber of Commerce in emergency time but what's the different is the denomination, country, metal and type, especially Djibouti's token is far more scarcer.

    There are a series of Djibouti emergency token, from 5 centimes to 1 Franc. Unfortunately i just could see 5 and 10 centimes so far especially in brilliant uncirculated condition. It's very tough to get EF or above condition. As usual, aluminium coins are difficult to be stored well and usually corroded (or oxidized) much by air.
