january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 10:00 am Taiwan, 5... somethings. Taiwanese dollars, probably. I'm not confident of the date. I think I'm reading 106 or 108, but that would be 2018/2020 respectively, and your story seems to imply that it has to be older than that. EDIT: I was correct in the reading 106, but it actually corresponds to 2017. Numista entry. Report this Post to the Staff

Minnimarine Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 11:36 am Well I didnt get it on my deployment and I know my father has never been to Taiwan. Maybe that's why I had no clue. So it's made in Taiwan... nothing really significant about this coin I guess? At least I can google info about it now. Report this Post to the Staff
drowning Valued Member Australia 66 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 10:05 am Your coin is a 2017 Taiwan 5 Yuan. Reference is Y# 552. The first 4 symbols on the head side of the coin read from left to right is the year. The site below is excellent if you need to find the year of foreign coins. http://dateconverter.net/minguo Report this Post to the Staff

drowning Valued Member Australia 66 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 7:43 pm @Minnimarine You're welcome. I use this constantly for coins from Asia and the Middle East. Handy when noodling through bulk world coin mixes. There is also an amazing (free) phone app called CoinScope that is invaluable for identifying foreign coins if you have no idea what country it belongs to. Report this Post to the Staff
