No idea, but I want one. Presents are greatly appreciated.After seeing this pictured on The Longstreet Society's Facebook page, I searched for this coin. I found it for sale on a site called Numista. There's probably a story behind it, but I can't find it. Do you know anything about this coin @War Horse or @FarawayFriend?
The medal is $9.99 on eBay.After seeing this pictured on The Longstreet Society's Facebook page, I searched for this coin. I found it for sale on a site called Numista. There's probably a story behind it, but I can't find it. Do you know anything about this coin @War Horse or @FarawayFriend?

They also have a limited edition "bonded bronze" plaque of the Longstreet statue at G'burg ($75.00):
This coin is of course a token that can not be directly used as money. However I have no further info. But there also are actual coins. Including this Liberian $20 coin (though it frequently issues a ton of strange new coins) of which, according to the entry on colnect.com, some 20,000 were minted in 2001 as part of their ACW series.
Me, too!Hah, I like the plaque better than the actual statue!!
Me, too!
Yes, I was perplexed as what to do with the little money I had on hand. Thankfully @John Hartwell spared me any further angusih.Just heard... we know someone who owns it now!

Why on earth would Liberia have a coin with Longstreet on it???????This coin is of course a token that can not be directly used as money. However I have no further info.

I just wonder why an African country would want to have a Confederate on any of their coins.I asked myself the same thing. But then I thought Liberia dates back to the CW era and when they coined a CW series in memory of that, Longstreet could not easily be overlooked, most probably. My thoughts only, I know next to nothing about Liberia.
Foreign mints attempt to increase revenue by appealing to interests overseas .I just wonder why an African country would want to have a Confederate on any of their coins.
