Oh boy, triggersmob, I am still looking for a biafra... Cool coin there  ... I have a good number of 'favorite' coins in my collection; it is so hard to choose  I guess one of my tops is the pair of German 3 and 5 reischmarks of 1930 commemorating a 1929 flight of the Graf Zeppelin to go along with the Zeppelin Worldwide 1932 book with a metallofoil rendition of this coin.

Biafra's are scarce, but not rare. I have a £1 pound note of their's, they are common as unused remainders were sold off after the "Liberation" by Nigeria in January 1970. Can't find a picture of it  Coin #12 from me.   Another Halfcrown of the UK - This time 1820 George IV. High EF condition with nice detail and toning coming back after a historic cleaning.

1887 British halfpenny. The lustre is more evident on the coin than in the photo.
