Comments

This tiny Kingdom is located on the border between Senegal and Mauritania. Biffeche has been a Kingdom from time immemorial but there’s not a lot of information about its origins. It was “first mentioned by the French in early XVII Century documents”. For the last four decades Biffeche has had a white king. This coins are the first official issue of the Kingdom of Biffeche and this issue has been authorized by the Government of Biffeche. They are legal coinage within the territory of Biffeche.
