 So for my history class my teacher gave us all different coins and we were asked to find the country an the year they are from. I believe the year mine states is 1822 but the one has rubbed off or maybe it wasn't even a one in the first place I have no idea so help would be much appreciated thanks you Staff edit: Identified, moved to the World Coin Section

Looks like a Netherlands 1 cent - 1822. The other side should show a crowned coat of arms with the denomination - 1 on the left and a c on the right.

Yeah it's a cool project! We all got different coins to research. He likes to collect them from flea markets :) now I have to research events from the year and country the coin was made from

Check out 'A Coin's Life' https://goccf.com/t/168956It's a thread I started based on an idea from a teacher. Maybe instead of just telling about the year the coin was made you could tell about that and then tell about how it ended up in a flea market for your teacher to find. The Dutch have been world traders since long before that coin was minted, maybe it ended up in south east Asia, then some GI got it during the 1960, or a French soldier got it in the 1950's. Being half worm it has not had an easy life |

I took a class last semester called "Fabulous Berlin". When we started to talk about WWII my professor let me bring in coins and banknotes from Nazi-Germany to show around. It actually sparked quite a bit of interest in some of my classmates. He loved them and I know I had a blast :D

I gave a nephew a 4R Potosi cob for a gift/puzzle several years ago. It had a readable date, and with some research you could deduce the most likely wreck that it came from. I never asked him whether he solved the puzzle.
