Title: Very Rare "Yakaro Penny"
Description: A variant of the Ogoja penny, made by the Munshi Tribe, was called yakaro; it is characterized by a gentle curve connecting the two arms of the Y, as opposed to the sharp angle of the Ogoja penny. Yakaros are far rarer than Ogoja pennies; only two examples were known to Ballarini in 2009. See NNP edition, https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/541824?page=397 (illustrated there, top right).
