<p>[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1001829, member: 6229"]In 2008 the Sultanate of Darfur released an attractive set of seven coins that includes a bi-metallic 500 Dinars, and some unusual shapes to help the sight impaired. All coins feature African wildlife. The non-circulating coins were the first modern coins authorized by the embattled sultanate who is engaged in tragic war waged to regain its independence from Sudan.

All coins bear an arabic inscription on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bi-metallic 500 Dinars features the Nile crocodile:</p><p><br /></p><p><a
