Tanzania - Silver Proof 500 Shillings Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged in 1964 to form Tanzania having become independent of Britain in 1961 and 1963 respectively. It remains a member of the British Commonwealth.Our featured coins shows the Queen Mother, and George VI, then the Duke and Duchess of York on their visit to Tanzania in 1925.
Togo - Silver Proof One Ounce Year of the Monkey Our featured coin is a 2004 one ounce silver proof 'Year of the Monkey' coin, with a denomination of 1,000 Francs. There is no date in western numerals, but we presume the Chinese characters include the date. It does seem strange for a Francophone country to have its coins inscribed in Chinese!
Tonga - Silver Proof 2 Pa'Anga Tonga became a self governing British Protectorate in 1900, and fully independent in 1970. It remains a member of the British Commonwealth. Tonga issued the world's first palladium coins in 1967 for the Coronation of King Taufa Ahau Tupou IV, our photographs show a palladium 1 Hau coin.
Tokelau - Silver Proof 5 Tala Tokelau is a group of three atolls between New Zealand and Hawaii. It became a British protectorate in 1889, and was transferred to New Zealand administration in 1925. It issued its first coins in 1978. Although these bear the Queen's head, as head of The Commonwealth, her name and titles are not shown. Our coin shows three generations of the royal family.
Tristan da Cunha - Silver Proof 50 Pence Named after Tristao da Cunha who discovered the island in 1506, it has only been inhabited since 1810. On August 5th 1867 HRH Prince Alfred the Duke of Edinburgh visited the island, and its only village was named Edinburgh in his honour, making it fitting that the coin shown mentions Prince Philip the present Duke of Edinburgh, and celebrated the 40th anniversary of his marriage to H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II. The island is a volcano which erupted in 1961, all the entire population of about 300 islanders were evacuated, and almost all returned between 1962 and 1963.
Tunisia - Gold 75 Dinars Tunisia has had an interesting history from the days of the Phoenicians until recent times. It was under French control and influence from 1881 to 1956. Tunisia became a republic in 1957.
Turkey - 100 Kurush Older Turkish coins are difficult for the westerner to identify because of the Turkish - Arabic script. This is a gold 100 Kurush or Qirish of Abdul Hamid II who acceded in AH 1293 (1876). This coin is from the 32nd year of his reign (1907).
Turks & Caicos Islands - 100 Crowns The Turks and Caicos Islands were discovered in 1512 by Juan Ponce de Leon, and were at times controlled or disputed by the Spanish, British Bermudians, French, Bahamas, Jamaica and Federation of the West Indies. They are now a separate Crown Colony in 1962. The coin shown is a gold proof 100 crowns commemorating Lord Mountbatten.
Tuvalu - 10 Dollars The islands were discovered in 1764 by John Byron. formerly known as the Lagoon Islands or the Ellice Islands, the islands comprising Tuvalu have been fully independent since October 1st 1978. The coin shown is a silver proof $10 to commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and rarely for any coin bears the portrait of H.R.H. Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh on the reverse.
