IMO coinage of the Rhodesias is severely underrated... small mintages, high attrition, and substantial and growing interest.

 

You right sir. It is very interesting coins. And rather rare.

 

Some great designs. Think I want a few. Especially the 1947 ones.Thanks for sharing SiberianMan. Have Brit. silver and I have a few silver Boer coins and they are next to my silver Booker Washington and Washington Carver coins. Will try to post some pictures next week.

 

Great thread, Eugene, as always. The dancing elephants penny is my favorite coin from this corner of the world.

 

had a couple of rhodesian ridgebacks, does that count??lol
