<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WhispTech, post: 28100, member: 1565&quot;]Well on the Sellasie coin it is a ethopian coin but was my first .999.&nbsp; The reason why I got it was because it was listed under book value and was in excellent condition so I got it off of ebay.&nbsp; Plus it was .999 and I wanted to join the silve .999 club <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next the reason why i put it with my jamaican set is because it was haille sellasie who is of great imporatance to the rastafarian movement.</p><p><br /></p><p>First off like I mentioned before haille sellasie pre coronation name was Ras Tafari Makonnen in which you get Rastafari a movement started around the 30&#039;s and going into todays time in which in the early years of the 70&#039;s sellasie died ( which is under some contreversy).&nbsp; Bob and haille have met.&nbsp; It is said that when sellasie came to jamaica one rainy day that as soon as he stepped off the plane it stopped raining.&nbsp; (this information is told to me by some rasta elders and some jamaiacans that where there that I talk to).&nbsp; Anyways this following of him had to do with people getting back to there point of origin.&nbsp; Anywhere where you look at true rastafarism you will see sellasie depicted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some saw sellasie as a tyrant and others as a god.&nbsp; Think a more appropriate word would be a prophet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is the heritage in which selassie is a decendent although not a direct decendent of solomen (which can be a bad thing since solomen worshipped idles and the such).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways that is why I have it with my jamaiacan coins because it will be the only other coin I will have anyways since the rest are all Jamaiacan.</p><p><br /></p><p>lol</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways just thought I would explain this since when I did show it just said it was .999 but well aware that it is from ethopia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for any spelling mistakes and grammar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
