Tanzania, P40r, B139ar, 500 shilingi (2011), REPLACEMENT
Omschrijving
Tanzania came into being on 26 April 1964, with the merger of the mainland territory of Tanganyika—which had gained its independence from the United Kingdom in late 1961—and the former sultanate of Zanzibar, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean. Abeid Amani Karume (4 August 1905 – 7 April 1972) was the first President of Zanzibar. He obtained this title as a result of a revolution which led to the deposing of His Majesty Sir Jamshid bin Abdullah, the last reigning Sultan of Zanzibar, in January 1964. Three months later, the United Republic of Tanzania was founded, and Karume became the first Vice President of the United Republic with Julius Nyerere of Tanganyika as president of the new country. He was the father of Zanzibar's former president, Amani Abeid Karume. Karume was assassinated in April 1972 in Zanzibar Town.
