DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 4:07 pm I see a Japanese silver 100 Yen dated Showa 33 /1958/ The silver is .600, the coin weighs 4.8 g. Edit: And the AH1313 /1895/ Arab coin is a Moroccan dirham. .835 silver, weight 2.9 g. Edited by DL20K 07/08/2008 4:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 9:28 pm On the top pic (#2284), the top two (with the human figures on both sides) are not coins, but Indian "temple tokens", like these on zeno.ru. Centre left is a Chinese 20 cents, Year 15 of the Republic (1926) like this one on zeno.ru. Centre is Japan 100 yen, as has been described. Centre right is an Indian coin, looks like British East India Company - Madras Presidency, either a quarter or half rupee I think, dated 1204 Islamic calendar (= 1789/90 AD), similar to (but not the same as) this one on zeno.ru. I'll double-check this one in the references when I get home. At the bottom is the Moroccan one already identified. 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
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 06:31 am Found the Indian one: Bengal Presidency (not Madras) 1/4 rupee, KM# 96, dated 1204/19, but struck with this "frozen date" throughout the late 1700's and early 1800's. 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
