Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 05/19/2020 4:37 pm # 2 is dated 1368 Ah(1949) and is probably a 20 fil issued by Abdullah I. Edited by Gincoin43 05/19/2020 10:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In both pics, you have the coin upside-down. This one looks like an 18th Century cast cash of the Qing Dynasty. Here is a link to a coin on Numista that is pretty close: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19926.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

A basic understanding of Eastern Arabic numerals could be useful. Your second coin is quite worn, but it looks like a 50 Fils such as the one in this numista link. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11056.html For the future, it would be super-helpful for you to include the diameter and weight of the coins that you post. Thx.

Miguel_85 New Member Poland 13 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 09:19 am I assume that although this Chinese coin is from 18th century it hasn't got big value as they were minted in huge amount? Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 11:22 pm The Chinese coin may be Hartill# 22.288 or 22.291, but the coin is not preserved well enough to see the distinction. Emperor Chien-lung (Qian Long) 1736-1796. Made in large numbers worth about 1 dollar (USD) Wuch'ang mint. Hubei (Hupeh) province. This link will take you to a closer coin (Boo-U). https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28092.html The previous link shown above is for a different coin (BooFu) (not the right mintmark).
