This is part of that collection. I have no idea about the coins other than maybe Chinese. Any info would be greatly appreciated and I have many more including old foreign paper money also tank you. If more pics are needed please say so and I will put them up. Report this Post to the Staff

These links should be of assistance in identifying the coins yourself:- https://primaltrek.com/koreancoins.html https://primaltrek.com/chinesecoins.html http://www.sportstune.com/chinese/index.html Report this Post to the Staff

I believe all the rest of the square-holed coins (known in English as "Cash coins") are Korean. All the machine-struck unholed coins in the bottom row are Japanese, all pre-WWII I believe. 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

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 08:22 am Most of these are Korean Sangpyeongtongbo. You can use this site to correctly identify them by character: https://www.koreancoinlookup.com/sa...eong-tong-bo Primaltrek is a good resource, but has many incorrect dates/other information as it is not fully based on Korean numismatic sources.
