Honan Province (20 cents) 3.Chinese coin. Kwang-tung Province (20 cents) And finally this coin(?) I got it from my mom who worked in a numismatic store, I read something about these coins and I assumed that it was Indian, but I don't see any markings that say that this was indeed a coin, if anyone knows what this is please tell me [deleted old photobucket links] Thanks in advance, Alan Report this Post to the Staff

KM/Y# 327. #2: By strange coincidence, we've just recently had another one of posted here for ID, here. Your answer will be the same: not Honan, but Fukien province. Yours is dated Year 17 of the Republic (= 1928 AD). This one appears to be the KM.Y# 389.2 variety. #3: Year 10 (= 1921), KM/Y# 423. #4: given it appears to be silver and stamped on both sides, it's fair to say it certainly looks like a coin. Several states in southern India issued tiny silver coins, called "fanams"; I suspect this is one of these, though I haven't found one with quite the same waves-and-diamond reverse. 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
