Pocket discovery

Sometime in the last few days, instead of giving me a quarter in change, someone apparently handed me a one shilling piece from East Africa, dated 1952. Not that this bothers me, it's pretty freakin cool. I wonder if it's worth anything.

A quick ebay search looks like it's worth maybe two or three bucks mint, which this thing is NOT. But hey, it's cool, and it made me google for the history of East Africa, which is always good. The coin has made me a little better educated.
