akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 12:18 pm Check out this site, http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed / ,has lots of pictures and really helps in identifing coins. I found the first under Israel. Not sure where the second one would belong but the fun is in the hunt! Report this Post to the Staff
tiggerhappy New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 2:16 pm Thanks to both of you. akglen thanks for the link. Was able to determine that the second coin is from Taiwan - Republic of China (y#536 1 Yuan (1960-1980)). Report this Post to the Staff
tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 3:07 pm Looks like the date is 1000 + 4 + 10 + 6 (the first four characters of obverse legend top) This would make it year 64 for their calendar. Add 64 to 1911 and the minting date would be 1975 of our calendar. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 3:09 pm Ooops. The date I gave is for the Taiwan coin. Report this Post to the Staff

My Krause has a mintage for this coin (KM# 27) at 10.8 million in 1979; this is the regular, aluminium-bronze circulation issue with no mintmark. The one with 31,590 mintage is KM# 27b; that coin is cupronickel (silvery-coloured) and with a Star-of-David mintmark. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
