1969 BIAFRA THREEPENCE UNC DETAILS REF 1

This 1969 Biafran threepence documents a crucial chapter in African independence movements, minted during the Republic of Biafra's sovereignty (1967-1970). The coin retains uncirculated strike characteristics with crisp definition, though environmental corrosion has affected the surface—a natural consequence of preservation through decades of geopolitical upheaval. Such patination is expected and authentic to coins from this era. A compelling addition for numismatists focused on African states, emergency coinage, and Cold War-era history. This scarce denomination serves as tangible evidence of Biafra's monetary autonomy during one of the continent's most transformative periods.
