 Were the Germans there in 1809 ?
There is KM# 5 dated 1893 and 1894 for 2 Rupien, but not for 1809 date.

The ones I have are pretty blurred...but, I'll see what I can do.
Had checked NGC myself but was unsure if I'd made a mistake.

It must be a fake: as my learned friend suggested that the colony didn't exist at that point.
Thanks for your help.

It's not a fake, but a fantasy, since a similar coin never existed. The Protectorate of German East Africa was established in 1885 and the first coinage for this colony was struck in 1890.

  Could not make out images as they are rather dark, so I made them brighter ...
