johntheone New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 07:51 am I was just looking for help to identify this coin. Who and what is it's origin, is it worth anything? Would appreciate any help. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 09:29 am Welcome! The portrait is King Rama IX of Thailand, who seems to be a frequent guest here on the Unidentifieds Forum! http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pie...tml?mobile=0 Edited by philadelphian 10/21/2013 09:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
johntheone New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 09:52 am Thank you very much for your help. This is 1 item from a collection of coins acquired by my grandfather, who was a merchant seaman, lost at sea when torpedoed in the North Atlantic during the war. Most of the coins I have identified, except for a few. Your help is appreciated, and I may be asking for more. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 10:08 am I'm curious as to how this got into your grandfather's collection, as I believe it is a post-WWII coin. Report this Post to the Staff
johntheone New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 10:51 am AS the collection was my uncle's possession for a number of years, and he lived in the seaport of South Shields, he may well have added to the collection over the years, adding coins he obtained from other sailors. There are quite a lot which post date WWII. Report this Post to the Staff

johntheone New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 2:27 pm That's right. I've now got quite a collection ranging from Ussr to USA. Mostly smaller denominations, but interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 11:09 pm Yes it is Thailand. One baht dated BE2504 (that's 1962 to you and me). And welcome to the community. Report this Post to the Staff
