Nice type collection! The dodo coin is iconic for world coin collectors who (like me) grew up in the 60s (I sold mine a while ago).

A little bit of "funny how that worked out" trivia:
- Mauritius is named after Maurice of Nassau, the Dutch prince
- Prince Maurice was named after the Christian saint Mauritius, who was (according to tradition) commander of a Roman legion that fought in the Alps.
- the origin of Saint Mauritius' name is from the same root as "Moor," meaning he was a dark-skinned person from (drum roll ... )

Africa!
