alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 4:41 pm I also have this coin, so I'm very interested in the answer. Unfortunately I'm away from home until the weekend, but I'll post a (slightly) better shot then. Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 06:07 am Strangely enough, I am looking for it now. Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 09:59 am Yes, it's taken a long time, but here it is. http://s644.photobucket.com/albums/...gerap/DRACO/ My impression is that the obverse looks a little like Javanese/Balinese temple figures. The reverse is very worn but does show a bit of the wreath/garland. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 6:00 pm Ah, excellent. There's just enough extra information on alganbagerap's example to trigger my memory. Yes, both these coins are the same type. It's from Burma (now known as Myanmar), 1/4 pe, 1878. Example on Zeno.ru. 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
