narper Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi! In the late 1960,s Biafra issued some types of coins with the date of 1969. Did anyone knows where they have been minted? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 It would appear, from the link below, that they were struck in Switzerland. LINK TO BIAFRA CURRENCY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Have not read that article, so this may have been mentioned there ... According to the Schön catalog, the "regular" coins (3 pence, 6 pence, 1 shilling, 2.5 shillings) were minted by the INCM in Portugal. Then there are two without a mint listed, followed by the five-coin series "Second Anniversary of Independence". That series was apparently produced by some Italian company for H.W. Bernhardt of the Swiss "Markpress" news agency. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
