CW88 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I was wondering how many African themed coins there are. So far I've only been able to find about 5 (and most of them South African). Having grown up mainly in Africa I'd quite like to find some African coins to add to my collection, or maybe design my own. Does anyone know many there are and if they are still available to get?

Which 5 did you find? There was one to celebrate the World Cup last year.(in South Africa) Perhaps you could get Chris Rake to consider a version of his Nomad Coins to represent some African Nations?

CW88 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 These are the ones I've found so far - managed to find a couple more. But only the Big Five and Team Fish Eagle coins really catch my eye. Quote Link to comment

+drneal Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 You might wish to add S. Africa 2005 and Prowler53 African Lion to your list! Hope this is a help. ILYK Quote Link to comment
+Captain Zulu Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Another (South) Africa themed coin: Team Myth - Quest for The Big Five. It was released in 2006 by Dutch geocachers 'Team Myth'. It's there in gold (RE) and silver (LE). Unfortunately these coins cannot be found easily anymore. Good Luck!

+Carbon Hunter Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Here is a link to a discussion on the South african thread about a similar topic. South African forum topic There are also a number of EGYPTIAN themed coins - scarbs, pyramids, mummies etc. So I guess they definitely qualify as African. Quote Link to comment
CW88 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks - had looked in the forums but missed that. And forgot about the Egyptian coins - think I was just thinking of a general African continent coin. Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There is also a brand new African coin that should be out within the next few weeks - celebrating 10 years of Caching in South Africa. There is some info on the SA forum about that too. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The first batch of these brand new coins should be going on sale soon - more African themed coins Quote Link to comment
+Team_Tramper Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Anyone have any South African themed unactivated coins for sale? Please drop me a PM. Thanks Quote Link to comment
