Coin set – Nigeria

A set of coins from Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy.

After Herbert Macaulay (1864–1946)

already participated in the creation of the National Congress in 1920

and founded Nigeria’s first political party, the NNDP.

Three years later he became an important figure in the movement

for the independence of the then British colony

in the last years of his life.

He is now considered the founder of Nigerian nationalism

and immortalized, among other things, in this set of coins.

oil rigs are depicted on the reverses of the coins,

palm trees, corn cobs and

with two white horses as a sign of dignity,

an eagle symbolizing strength,

and the major rivers of Nigeria, forming the Y.
