Congo Republic Junkers JU-52 Aircraft 100 Francs 1995 Unc Crown Color
$44.99Congo Republic – Junkers JU-52 Aircraft – 100 Francs – 1995 – Uncirculated Crown – Color – Nicknamed “Tante Ju” (Auntie Ju) and “Iron Annie” by Axis and Allied troops, the Junkers Ju-52 was the most famous German transport of the war. The Ju-52 was built of corrugated metal skin and paid little attention to beauty, features of a typical Junkers design. Parts and pieces stuck out of the airframe, and the corrugated skin, though much stronger than fabric and metal tubes, created stronger air resistance. In April 1931, the originally single-engine Ju-52 prototype was fitted with three engines. Performance improved tremendously and production of the new model immediately began. The Ju-52 served as an airliner for many nations. Finland, Spain, Sweden and Germany were just a few. It served as a mail carrier in China, and, fitted with floats, hauled lumber in remote places in Canada. Its most common work, however, was done with the German Lufthansa. Equipped with luxuries like a typewriter and oxygen masks, the Ju-52 could fly from Berlin to Rome in eight hours over the Alps, an impressive feat for contemporary aircraft, let alone an airliner. The military potential of the Ju-52 was not overlooked by the Luftwaffe. It entered service as a troop transport and bomber. In the Spanish Civil War, the Ju-52 ferried some 10’000 Moorish troops from Morocco to Spain, and bombed Madrid while, quite embarrassingly, some Lufthansa Ju-52s were in the airport serving as airliners. Later in World War II, the Ju-52 served in every theater in which Germany participated. It dropped paratroopers in the Netherlands, Crete and later the Ardennes. It carried supplies to beleaguered troops in North Africa, Stalingrad and the Baltic states. The Ju-52 was slow and very lightly armed against fighters. As a result, it suffered horrible losses in almost all actions, especially over Crete, the Mediterranean and Stalingrad. Many types of replacement were built, but none was as popular or reliable as good old Auntie Ju. Right until the end of the war the Ju-52 was still soldiering on to help stave off defeat. The last Ju-52s went out of service with the Swiss Air Force in the late 1980s

Democratic Republic Of Congo Acrylic Chinese Junk 10 Francs 2004
$49.99Under the reign of the 3rd Ming Emperor Yung Lo (1403-1424) the largest known Junks were built in the then Chinese capital Nanking and measured approx. 140m long and 60 m wide. The only remains of these Junks, a helm, was found in a shipyard and was more than 30 meters long. The Junk was like a floating village; with fresh water tanks, salt water filled compartments for living fish, compartments for livestock and being powered by 9 sailing masts was therefore excellently equipped for long distance sailing adventures. These kind of so-called “Treasure Junks” had enough storage to transport even Giraffes from Africa to China for the Emperor’s Zoo. Recently, documents were found which reported visits to Europe – France and the Netherlands. This would have meant sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. All voyages were under the command of the famous Chinese Admiral Zheng He (1371-1435) The Junks were seven times larger than Christopher Columbus’s sailing ship “Santa Maria”.

Eritrea Rhinocerous Crown 1994 Uncirculated
$14.99Issued by authority of the African country of Eritrea, this beautiful uncirculated crown features an African Rhinocerous. A Rhinoceros, commonly called a rhino, is any of five surviving species of odd-toed ungulate in the family Rhinocerotidae, all native to Africa or Asia. The Rhino is characterised by large size, one of the few remaining megafauna animals surviving today, with all of the species capable of reaching two thousand pounds or more in weight. Rhinos sport one or two horns on the center of the forehead, and when there are two horns, they are aligned one in front of the other. These herbivorous giants have a thick protective skin, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They also share an acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Most rhinoceros live to be about 40 years old. A male rhinoceros is called a bull, a female a cow, and the young a calf; a group of rhinoceros is called a “crash”.
Eritrea Triceratops One Dollar Crown 1993 BU
$14.99Eritrea – Triceratops – One Dollar Crown – 1993 – Brilliant Uncirculated Triceratops, from the Greek meaning “three-horned face,” (because it had three horns) was a ceratopsid herbivorous dinosaur from the Latest Cretaceous period of North America.

Triceratops was discovered by John Bell Hatcher in 1888, named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889 and its acceptance as a legitimate dinosaur came when an intact skull was found. The sturdy nature of the animal’s skull has ensured that many examples have been preserved as fossils, allowing variations between species and individuals to be studied.
