<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1579760, member: 15488&quot;]This was a coinstar find today. Until I got this coin I never heard of Eritrea. Eritrea was an Italian Colony during the early to mid 1900&#039;s. The Republic decimal coinage all have local(African) animals on the obverse and soldiers with flag on the reverse.</p><p>Krause list all with a date of 1997. The 1991 date on the reverse commemorates the year the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front extended it&#039;s control over the entire territory of Eritrea. This is one of the very few coins I have seen with a military theme on a circulating coin. Wonder how it ended up in Texas?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]218079.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
