Leprosy Colony Coins - Data & previous thread links

I found this leper colony coin while sorting through my pile of world coins I have gathered over the years. At first I was puzzled that I couldn't find it in my books under Columbia. But when I did a google search I figured out was it was. People give me foreign coins all the time but I have but I have no clue where this one came from.

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread Electron John. It was fun to read it again. Coincidentally, I have these Leprosy colony coins which are in my queue to be labeled & fit in the collection. They are all duplicates from the Culion colony in the Philippines and one from Maricaibo in Venezuela.

 

Resurrecting this thread once again. Lots of interesting information.

Here are mine, from Lazareto Colombia:

• 1 Centavo 1921
• 2 Centavos 1921
• 10 Centavos 1921

I got them in Buenos Aires.

Next on my wish list are the ones from the Culion leper colony in Philippines.
