Description: This is a rare antique Chamba African tribe hand forged iron metal bracelet metal like band with on twisted side and one smooth side strung with metal rings which was used as African trade currency or money. This iron Chamba tribal currency tool was collected in Nigeria, Africa. This type of African currency is often identified as Yoruba by some collectors but this style of metal grouping is also reported as being from the Chamba people of the very remote and traditional area of the Benue River Valley in Nigeria. This iron primitive money currency specimen is in great tribally used antique condition with a rusty patina. This currency specimen measures 6.18 inches long by 3.71 inches wide. African iron currency served as indications of wealth and were used to store finances, pay for dowries and buy or trade for livestock and goods. This is a perfect example to add to any advanced African currency collection. The most common forms of traditional money in Africa were made of metal either forged or cast.
