  • We take a look at the Zimbabwe Bird, a national emblem that appears on stamps, military uniforms and the flag. Then we examine the Mbira, a musical instrument, finally we discuss a little history about Zimbabwe when it was known as Rhodesia as well as the hyperinflation that occurred in 2007.
    Check out these stamps on Snupps:www.snupps.com...

      @@ExploringStamps staps, stamps stamps so pretty and some so rare,'others telling so much about the country which was our home Revocked. I remember so many as they brought back memories of events and a lots so pretty, pictures designed by so many artists. Most with our queens face in the corner, some with the face of Cecol John Rhudès comemorating his bis birth and death, his centenary and so much more. Many of the flora and fauna, each with it's own story to tell..

    Hahaha, I don't have any stamp from Zimbabwe, but I have that banknote! I had not realized that it had a bird! As always... learning with the stamps and Exploring Stamps.

    • @ExploringStamps

      Ah yes, this is a must have for the numismatic... the bank note is a special one to have, and that means you also know about the Zimbabwe bird on it, glad you found it interesting :)

    I liked the presentation because it showed the name changes which occured over time. These African countries change there names quite a bit which I find makes it frustrating to look up the catalog values in Scot for many issues. Now the most recent one was Swaziland which changed its name to Eswatini. Why did this occur? I was unaware about the importance of their nation bird symbol. Thanks for the information.

    • @JoeUrbanYYC
      @JoeUrbanYYC 4 роки тому +1

      Eswatini is basically a conversion of the English name Swaziland to the Swazi language. I think in general all of the name changes are a result of the slow recovery of sovereignty by the African peoples and reverting away from the names given by the colonial powers.

      Name changes aren't uniquely African but also happen to countries on other continents.

      Hi Arun, I do not have anything for swap or sale at the moment. If you are looking to swap, I suggest looking to social media such as Instagram, there are a lot of stamp enthusiasts that look for swapping opportunities, you can follow the people that follow me and that I follow to get started. For purchasing, look at platforms such as eBay to buy Kiloware or specific stamps.

    Are the Zimbabwe Birds,like the african Dragonballs? 🇿🇼🇯🇵 🤔

    • @ncubesays
      @ncubesays 2 роки тому

      The Zimbabwe Bird represented the ruling king of the medieval Kingdom of Zimbabwe. It's a bateleur eagle, totemic symbol seen as the messenger/connection to Mwari (the supreme god in local mythology) as well as the ancestors.
