New country - Labe ( Fouta Djalon)

7 posts
Hi all,
search some french catalogs i have found a country called Labe it was a West African theocratic state based in the Fouta Djallon highlands of modern Guinea and have it own currency and we miss that one at numista. I think we should create a new country, what do you think ?

R/ 25 GR. A./ 1894. Inscription arabe dans un cartouche.
tranche : lisse, losange ARGENT 950 M/M en creux, M. - - GC.3. Très bel exemplaire pour ce type de monnayage. Plusieurs petits coups sur la tranche visibles au revers.

Ces pièces ne furent pas officiellement mises en circulation. Pour le module de la pièce de 5 francs, il y a trois modèles différents : deux au millésime de 1879, le troisième de 1894 (notre pièce). Ils présentent tous un lion surmonté d'un croissant au droit. Il semblerait que l'inscription au revers puisse se traduire par Sanderval .

According to this source it's a pattern strike. No coins ever circulated.
I found in Lecompte and also in Gadoury
FOUTAH DJALON is a highland region in the centre of the Republic of Guinea, West Africa.
The largest town in the region is Labé.
NGC said as this coins under Guinea but french catalogs as separate country

After discussions with Damian, these coins were added under Fantasy. they were an attempt but the state was never established.

However, they are scarce and are being sold for thousands of dollars in auctions.
