ATTRACTIVE 2009 CABINDA COIN SET FEATURES FISH & BIMETALLICS

Cabinda is a former Portuguese colony on the west coast of Africa. It declared independence in August 1975, and in December of that year it was invaded by Marxist troops from Angola. Since then there has been an on-going civil war. Because of its vast oil reserves, it seems unlikely Angola will allow Cabinda its freedom. That has not stopped someone making these unofficial coins for Cabinda. The 2009 eight coin set includes the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 Avos, along with the bimetallic 1 and 2 Reis. Each coin pictures a different species of native fish. The obverse includes the date, denomination and arms. The coins are Uncirculated, however some may have minor spots as that is how they came from the mint.
