SSP: Tanzania Serengeti Proof SINGLES and Website Update

CIVITAS · February 18, 2005 1:24AM

This is a neat group of animal proof coins from Tanzania. All are dated 1998 and denominated as 500 Shilingi. Each coin is a hair over 1oz. of silver. Lot includes Leopard (KM48), Cheetah (KM49), Hyena (KM50), Crocodile (KM51), Zebra (KM -) and Impala (KM -). All are choice cameo proof in original plastic capsules (save for Cheetah which has some light fingerprinting and hairlines).

We're changing this up a bit. Now the coins are being sold as singles. LION IS SOLD!

PM me with any interest/offers.

I've also updated the website with 142 new coins. Check 'em out here:

Thanks much.

I bet those Tanzania coins don't last long around here.

Wow - Beauties, are they only going to be sold as a complete set?

For now they're being offered as a set. If I get enough interest from people who want to pick and choose, I may break it up. I don't expect these to last long as a set around here though (as Python indicated).

WHAT DOES THE OTHER SIDE LOOK LIKE?

CIVITAS · February 18, 2005 2:34AM

Boy, you people just want everything around here. Front AND back of your coins before you buy them.

Oops.

Should be fixed now.

IS that a BBL too?

I lived in Tanzania for a year.

cosmicdebris · February 18, 2005 5:12AM

That explains a lot.

Lion is gone.

Gee ... I wonder who snagged it

... and I'll repeat the question ... is that a BBL

Well Josh it looks like you'll just have to get another set for the "pick and choosers" .

Hi Josh,

Some nice looking additions. Thought you'd like to know that this one (BRITISH GUIANA George III, struck during Victoria's reign Guyana 1838--#WC10879) is also considered to be linked to Nova Scotia. It is catalogued by Charlton in "Canadian Colonial Tokens" as NS22.

AuldFartte, it is a FCBL (Fully Clothed Beautiful Lady).

Thanks for the info, Gene. We were not aware of that connection. Charlton seems to think it was imported by collectors, but that die match to the other token is rather interesting.
