I just got this one yesterday.

 

I believe these were all struck at the Philadelphia mint under contract.

 

The round Belgian Congo coins (1 fr, 2 fr, 5 fr) were minted in South Africa. The one from Liberia, and the hexagonal Belgian Congo 2 fr piece with the misspelled country name, were indeed made in the US.

Wow, love that last one, nice even color. Grade is irrelevant when they have that kind of eye appeal.

 

I just acquired one of these Somalia 5 Shillings just like yours -

 

All your elephant coins are VERY nice. I like camels, eagles, and dragons. One day I think I will creat a post with my coins. Thanks and enjoy what remains of your day.
