Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 11:55 am Looks like a 1 Pysa coin from the British Protectorate of Zanzibar. My Krause is pretty out-dated, but likely value is a couple bucks.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 12:05 pm Correct: Zanzibar Pysa 1881 and by the looks of it I'd say no real money in it at all. Most all I've seen are much better condition and don't cost much. Report this Post to the Staff

Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 4:32 pm Interesting fact: These coins are quite sought-after here in Germany by collectors of German Empire coins or collectors of coins from German colonies. That is because the Pysa coin served as model for the 1 Pesa coins that have been minted in the German colony of East Africa. Best Report this Post to the Staff
