Biafra's gold coinage of 1969 was struck in the final, desperate months of the secessionist state's existence. The Republic of Biafra had declared independence from Nigeria in May 1967, triggering a civil war that killed an estimated one to three million people, largely through deliberate famine. By the time these pieces were minted, Biafran-held territory had been reduced to a fraction of its original size, and the government fell in January 1970.
These gold issues were almost certainly produced for foreign exchange and diplomatic purposes rather than domestic circulation — the population was starving. Struck in London by the Royal Mint on contract.
