19th Century African Iron Currency Mfunte Mfumte Nigeria Cameroon
Located in Point Richmond, CA
The price is for an individual currency and includes a stand.
The custom stands can display the currencies horizontally with the rounded point facing to the left or right or mounted vertically.
Please specify your preference.

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