triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9461 Posts	Posted 11/21/2019 03:51 am My friend returned from Sri Lanka today and he bought me some coins while he was there. So I have 2 questions. First one is, what are they? Second one is, are they real? Any help would be appreciated as I don't normally collect coins like this.

Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 11/21/2019 05:35 am @TM, the VOC monogram is for the East India Company, so I recommend looking recommend looking on numista with keywords such as VOC and STUIVER. You will find good examples there, for example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15735.html I am quite suspect of these examples that your friend brought back, but this isn't my area of expertise. I'm sure others will weigh in. Are any of these coins attracted to a magnet?

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 11/21/2019 1:16 pm A couple things, Sri lanka was called Ceylon when these would have been produced. That bar is supposed to be a 4 & 3/4 STUIVER (quite rare) though I don't know if it is real. The circular ones are 1 stuiver, All seem to be dutch issue and would probably be easier to find if you include that. Report this Post to the Staff
