vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 04/18/2014 5:27 pm Thank you! Though all coins with an hole this looking were chinese. Big mistake. From all the 1 Mon coins. Is it then the top one? Because no chinese sign on the back? Report this Post to the Staff

One is brass the other is iron. I am pretty sure you have the brass one, but you can always run a magnet over it to check. That means the catalog number is C#1.1. You can narrow the date down even more depending on the style of the script and tiny variations in the characters. Unfortunately I will not be able to help you with that. If no one has replied by the time I get home I will look the other three up. Report this Post to the Staff
