Rekinek999 New Member Czech Republic 32 Posts	Posted 11/06/2017 11:03 am Dear colleagues. Could you please help me to identify the coin from the picture? I recently came back from Vietnam where I managed to get a set of Vietnamese coins. Among them was one in quite bad condition but it looks around 18 -19 century. It is around 23,5 mm. The other side is to worn for the picture. I would appreciate some help. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16898 Posts	Posted 11/06/2017 7:43 pm Yes, I'm fairly sure it's Vietnamese, and fairly sure it's from the reign of the Canh Hung emperor of Vietnam (1740-1786). Compare it with the examples on this zeno.ru database page. 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
Rekinek999 New Member Czech Republic 32 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 10:11 am Thank you very much. This is what I thought, I just needed the second opinion. Problem is I couldn't match 23.5 mm diameter to any of them... Report this Post to the Staff
