Glyth Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 4:43 pm I received a small bag filled with coins from around the world from my grandmother during a visit some time ago. I'm just now going through and identifying the coins but am having trouble figuring out what 5 of them are. I photographed 2 but couldn't get good pics of the others. I'm looking for any info on the coins. I'll post the others if I can get any good pictures. Coin 1 Coin 2 Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 5:24 pm I changed your post so that the pics show up right in the post rather than clicking on the upload link. I find it easier for identification to see both pics at the same time. The first coin is a 1956 (AH1375) Egyptian 20 Piastres. It's composed of .72 silver(.3241 oz silver weight). KM#384. The second coin is a Japanese 50 Yen. It is composed of copper-nickel. I think it's either KM#101.1 or 101.2. The difference is the date and I stink at dating oriental coinage. Hopefully, someone else will be able to fill in the gaps on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Glyth Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 6:20 pm Thanks! I really appreciate the help. I guess that means the only thing I need to know now is the date on the Japanese 50 Yen. Report this Post to the Staff
tbirde56 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 9:11 pm Since the date is a regular numeral it translates to the 7th year of emperor Akihito's reign (1995). There were 111 million minted and its worth about .50. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins. Report this Post to the Staff
