British East Africa, George VI, Shilling 1948-52 Very Fine
The East Africa Protectorate (also known as British East Africa) was an area in the African Great Lakes stretching from Kenya on the Indian Ocean to Uganda in the west. The East Africa shilling was introduced in 1921 in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika, and later extended to Somaliland and the British Colony of Aden on the Arabian Peninsula. One of the legacies of this decision is that many of these countries still use the shilling as their currency unit. We can now offer you one of these coins minted between 1948 and 1952, showing a crowned King George VI with no Emperor of India title in Very Fine.
