DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 09/11/2008 08:46 am Today I've received four coins. One is obviously Tunisia, but the three are unidentified. I hope some of you aren't seeing these for the first time I'd request the following info: country, face value, year. Edited by Sap 09/13/2008 08:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 09/11/2008 09:43 am Thank you! Is this the regnal year? According to my how-to-read chart this is a "20", it's hard to see it in the photos but it's obvious in hand. Edited by DL20K 09/11/2008 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 09/11/2008 1:38 pm That is indeed the regnal year. Much clearer on this picture. You are right: it is 20. This makes your 5 para KM#666.3, struck on a thin planchet (2.5-3.3 gram). Year of issue is 1859AD. Report this Post to the Staff
