East Africa (Mombasa) Pice 1888

Nice coin, Taylor. Back in 1888 the countries of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda were grouped under British rule into a region known as East Africa. Your coin is from Mombassa, a city on the Kenyan coast which was, and is, a thriving Arabic commercial center. The date 1306 is the Muslim date equivalent to 1888.
