How'd you find those keith? Katanga didn't show up in my search. Great work though buddy.  . Oz would have something like that up her sleeve too.   "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

And not sure where trig was going with the 1940s I wondered for a second too, then thought it probably had something to do with a multi year issue. Gotta use "this" and "your" coin carefully there. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

Splain pleeze. We were not looking at the Democratic Republic of the Congo, because it's not landlocked. But the State of Katanga was. And who knows, I could be wrong again. Edited by Keith67

Ok, still, why didn't it show up in the search? Perhaps Oz can answer that.
I think you called it though. Good stuff.

I missed it, it was in my search, you had to point it out though. Sneaky Oz.

NumisEd is the winner   Quote:
Let's see what we can learn about Africa Issued in the breakaway state of Katanga after it was in the Belgian Congo but before it became part of Democratic Republic of the Congo. Capital city Elisabethville (11 degrees S). The only coins ever issued were 1, 5 francs bronze coins and an NCLT gold coin all dated 1961. And yes loonie they showed up in the Numista search results but you didn't see them because you didn't know what you were looking for. Unless you have one of these coins you've probably never even heard of Katanga.  P.S. Thankyou Keith for saving me from being GM 3 times in a row.  |

And not sure where trig was going with the 1940s I quite simply stuffed up. I was looking at what we thought was the last coin left and I was trying to eliminate a few years, forgetting that we already knew it was 1950 or later.  I have heard of Katanga and every time I see one of those coins I think I must get one, but quite honestly, I have never investigated it to even know where it was. Now I do. Thanks Oz, and great round. Well done to Keith for getting us on track an to NimisEd. |
