I have this coin and I can't figure out what it is. Does anyone know what it is?  It is similar to this Chinese 1 cash coin.  |

Here's a trio comprised of my latest finds of this type. The bottom coin is Egyptian.   Colligo ergo sum

There was one of these posted earlier, but I believe of different denomination. For the genre, this one is a bit interesting on account of its larger size (30.5mm in diameter). It dates to the period of the British Mandate, so I wonder if it might've been struck by The Royal Mint.   Colligo ergo sum

One more I ran across today that I hadn't seen before.   In doing a little research on this issue, I discovered that it was actually struck in Paris, and the mintage totaled a meager 3,000. Colligo ergo sum

I don't believe I've seen this one in the topic yet. It's a 2004 Danish 2 Kroner that I picked up while visiting Germany/Austria in the summer of 2012. I've been meaning to post it for a while but just got around to taking a picture of it. I apologize for the image quality.   The obverse shows the royal monogram 3 times around the central hole, alternating with crowns. The obverse is a design based on prehistoric drawings, kind of reminiscent of a Celtic pattern. I have read that the two hearts to the left and right of the central hole represent the Danish mint. The orientation of the coin is medal alignment. |

This one's pretty large (33mm in diameter). It also has a proof finish, so I;m supposing it was never intended to circulate.   Colligo ergo sum

Turns out that the above Papua New Guinea 1 kina was in fact part of an 8 coin proof set struck by the Franklin Mint, with 7,721 being produced. It is legal tender.

Why only modern and some older Chinese coins with holes? Here a mystery coin from the middle ages:  Both sides are equal, I'll give everyone a chance to guess what it is before I add a description tomorrow  Postscript: Close enough 'Bas_S_Warwick', a 'Lotus Flower' coin from the Khmer Empire produced in medieval times.
