Some nice animals for y'all

laurentyvan

After a couple of weeks of neglecting my coins, I've finally had the time to start playing with them again.

Also working my way through a second purchased collection at the local shop, finding a lot of nice beasts, regal and otherwise-here are a few of them. I have to wonder how the common metals of most african coins survived the climate-aluminum, bronze, brass, wouldn't they tarnish rather quickly? I don't see them in UNC too often at the local shops and was pleased to get these.

Oh, next friday I should be picking up around thirty crown sized coins from everywhere that I asked them to save for me; can't wait!

Congo Democratic Republic 1967 10 Sengi Aluminum BU


Cameroon 1958a 25 francs aluminum-bronze UNC


East Africa 1941-I 1 Shilling .250 silver VF. Boz, you turned me on to this coin with one of your posts but yours is a lot better than this-show us your image again.


Rwanda-Burundi 1961 1 Franc Brass UNC


Zambia 1964 Two Shillings copper-nickel BU


Mali 1961 10 Francs aluminum BU


Rhodesia & Nyasaland 1964 1/2 penny Bronze UNC


Tanzania 1966 20 Senti nickel-brass UNC

beautiful coins. Thanks for sharing.

I especially like the Congo Democratic Republic 1967 10 Sengi Aluminum BU. I may have to get one of those for my birth year set.

Placid

Cool a coin zoo.

Labmom, I'll keep my eyes peeled for another for you.

Yes placid, a coin zoo, and I'm having a blast filling in all the coins I wanted from any number of African countries and many of them have animals. They're not expensive or rare but they have a flavor that I enjoy.

vrtech99sboss

Excellent animal set you got going there.

So it was spiny who resuscitated this thread and with a Rhodesian coin too. You gotta admit though, the bronze halfpenny that Laurent had posted has all the charm. I love holed bronze coins in red BU.






It's also quite amusing to post in the same thread twice,under different handles and in different times. My tastes are still the same though.

That Cameroun be talkin' to me, mon.

Once again, Laurent, those are super coins! I especially love the look and toning on that Cameroon coin.
