JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 05/21/2013 07:50 am I am wondering if there is a way, or how, to tell the exact year of one of these. I know it's a Chiao y#545 1967-1974, but not sure how to tell what year. Any help? Thanks. The pics are the exact coin in question. Report this Post to the Staff

Any time you see that leftmost character and some numbers it's a year. Sometimes it's read left to right, sometimes top to bottom. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, he's saying yours is an 1968. I actually wanted to post pretty much the same explanation a few hours ago, but the post didn't go through and I decided, hey, doesn't really matter, someone else would say it anyway.

manymore Valued Member United States 347 Posts	Posted 05/21/2013 9:51 pm The coin is dated the "56th year of the Republic of China". However, this converts to the year 1967 and not 1968. Please see this Wikipedia page for a conversion chart. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
