Artur New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 8:37 pm Hello, I bought a few coins on e-buy. But I don't know nothing about one of them I can't find anywhere. On the front is written Twenty Cents FOO-KIEN PROVINCE. I found similar one but on the front is written: 1 MACE AND 44 CANDARENS FOO-KIEN PROVINCE This coin has diameter: 24 milimeters Coin is non magnetic. So do I have fake? Please help me.

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 10:52 pm It appears genuine to me. Your coin is later than the "1 mace 44 candareens" coins. It is dated Year 13 of the Republic, or AD 1924. Here's the NGC database page for it. 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.

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1321 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 06:20 am There have been sales recently in the uk of fake 20 cents - right down to the common ones - one ebay seller was/is selling about 50 all different. It's worth weighing the above coin, and testing with a megnet (if not already done so) Report this Post to the Staff
