Tanzanian Serengeti Wildlife 1 Kilogram Silver Coin purchase

They don't even list this 1998 denomination in Krause. Anybody know the mintage??

Not only do they not list the denomination, they also list only 1 mintage figure in denominations over 2000. That is the 10,000 of the same year with an estimated mintage of 1000. But, then again, thats a 1 ounce gold coin.

Edited to add: This is the only relevant thing I could find online. Link

They don't show up very often, I suspect a very low mintage.

Very nice. Who or what is on the obverse?

Nice.

So's the Serengeti. Been there, seen that.

Lived in Tanzania as a lad, for about a year. You'd think I would collect their coins. I haven't. Yet.

theboz11

I don't think these were pocket change

lordmarcovan

Nope, not with a denomination like that.

And weight? Yikes. I overlooked the "1 kilogram" part previously. Jeepers, what are the dimensions of this thing?

theboz11

It's 4 inches across and about an inch thick. How do I get Krause to list this pieces?

I like those animal coins.

I have some from the 70's with different animals from different nations. All low mintage stuff.

Theboz11,
There's a lot of coins & medal-coins from Kenya,Tanzania,& Uganda that aren't even listed in Krause.

25,000 Shillings is an extremely strange denomination.

There are 100 Cents in 1 Shilling.

I've got quite a few Tanzanian coins,but very few of the commemoratives though.

Aidan.
