19th Century African Iron Currency Mfunte Mfumte Nigeria Cameroon

The custom stands can display the currencies horizontally with the rounded point facing to the left or right or mounted vertically.

The aging of the iron has further added to the texture and attractiveness of the design.
Colonial coinage replaced Africa's traditional iron currencies...
