Interesting fact
The 6 Pence 1969 coin from Biafra (Nigeria) is interesting because it was issued during the Biafran War, which was a conflict that lasted from 1967 to 1970 and was fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. The coin was likely used as a means of currency during this time, and its existence serves as a reminder of the complex history of the region.
