Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1969 Biafran 1 Pound coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and conflict in Nigeria. The Biafran War, which lasted from 1967 to 1970, was a conflict between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra, which was formed in 1967. The coin was likely issued as a means of raising funds for the Biafran government and military during this time. Despite the challenges and hardships faced during this period, the coin remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
