zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 6:18 pm Not sure if it is gold or just gold plated. I see a budda with some pagoda's in the background. I'm thinking Thailand? Otherwise, could also be India. Definitely modern By the way, this coin should be in the Unknown coins section, I will send a note to staff to move the thread. Definitely not "Ancient, Greek or Roman" lol Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 7:52 pm "How much" will I think depend on what it is made of; obviously if it is actually made of solid gold it will be worth more than if it is just brass or gold-plated. Take it to a jeweller and ask if they can do a specific gravity test on it for you to see if it is solid gold. Don't let them use a touchstone, since that will cause a scratches on the edge of the medal and cannot reliably tell the difference between solid gold and gold plating. 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
