Liberia 1975 sketches.jpg


Some more Royal Mint scans from the National Archives being presented on the internet for the first time.

(All this running back and forth to the National Archives - I'm worn out, I am).

I've edited a couple of the designs to make it a little harder, but it will be a lot easier than Cyprus was, I'm sure!

Hotter than Greenland, I suppose. Guess it is some African country, and one that has or had dollars and cents. Liberia maybe?
