[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7908791, member: 10461"]Excluding Egypt, here is the only other African coin in my collection besides the two posted above. I was delighted to find it in a bulk lot. It was struck the year we lived there. I used to get one of these for my weekly allowance, if I had been a good boy. I seem to recall buying a plastic model airplane kit with one. Though it's like [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-cheap-coin-that-makes-you-happy.307562/']a $3-ish coin[/URL] per the catalog value, I submitted it to PCGS anyway, so as to include it in my collection for sentimental reasons. So it's essentially a $3-ish coin in a $50-ish slab, but I don't care. Unsurprisingly, it is the top-pop coin at PCGS- and the only one certified- since again, I'm evidently the only person who ever submitted one.
