Comments
(en) The Ilemi triangle region is at the north-western corner of Lake Turkana.
The Ilemi Triangle is an area of disputed land in East Africa. Arbitrarily defined, it measures between 10,320 and 14,000 square kilometres (3,985 and 5,405 sq mi). Named after Anuak chief Ilemi Akwon, the territory is claimed by South Sudan and Kenya and borders Ethiopia. Despite use and raids by tribes within Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government has never made an official claim on any of the Ilemi and in fact agreed that the land was all Sudanese in the 1902, 1907, and 1972 treaties.
The 2018 coin is denominated "20 Afaro". The obverse features a coat of arms for Ilemi supported by two lions and spears. The reverse depicts a lion and cub. The triangular silver-plated Proof coin is 35mm on each side. The coin has a mintage of only 150 pieces.
