Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 6:42 pm Hi. I've been busy scanning some of the cool world coins I received from Molydeii and although I can tell where some "may" be from because of the worlds (like Isreal, Pilipinas" etc. I love these coins!! Molydeii, you're awesome to have sent these to me and I'm totally delighted with them. I'm loving the designs. I know very little about world coins, denominations, and some coins I haven't a clue where they're from as they have foreign words or they have symbols on them. I'm hoping some of you will tell me what they are and maybe something about them? I hope the scans I did come up in order here so the obverses and reverses are one after the other so you know they're the same coin! I haven't scanned all of them as yet (16 all together) The others I'll scan later and add. I have 6 from Hong Kong, one each from "Brasil", Isreal, Equador and Chile. I'm amazed to have all these coins. Who would of thunk it that I would when I've never been off the continent? Here's the first batch of scans! Report this Post to the Staff

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 6:45 pm Ah. I'm sorry they didn't post in order :( I could repost them one coin at a time if you all would like, or I can leave them if you're ok with that and can work with how they appear out of order? let me know if you want me to repost. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 7:14 pm Thank you Palaniappan!! That helps me a lot. I'm FASCINATED with these coins. The designs, metals, and colours. I take it the one that has the male figure and Dozsa beneath him is the Polish one? Pilipinas I think Philipines as the spelling is so close The 1983 with the eagle --- Chekoslovakia? The ones with the Palm Trees, Isreal? The one that says MAYGAR, Romania? Report this Post to the Staff
Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 8:01 pm Those are definitely from the Philippines as I have both of them as well. Also helps that I'm Filipino. Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 8:10 pm It's handy to meet you then Rsxtacee But you mentioned "both" are from the Philipines. I thought only one of these coins was from there. maybe you meant the 2 photos showing the obverse and reverse of the same coin though? I really and truly am an ignoramous when it comes to knowing other countries, their languages and coins or paper money though, unless the origins are obvious on them to me. I'm on a brand new learning curve here, so will learn now, as I go. Report this Post to the Staff

I have a brother-in-law who hails from Budapest and has a lot of family still there. I'll have to tell him I have these coins. He left and came alone to Canada as a 17 year old in 1957 (yes, revolution reasons) Poland: Cool too! I have two brothers-in-law who are Polish! Molydeii has given me a great start to getting some coins respresenting some of our family members countries of origins. AWESOME! (most of you know by now I'm into the geneology, family history and interested in coins that relate to my family) Thank you so much Weavus, very appreciated to get all that info from you!

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 10:40 pm "Magyar" denotes the Hungarian coins, just in case you haven't figured that out. Note the star in the wreath; that denotes USSR occupation and influence before the breakup of the Iron Curtain. Report this Post to the Staff

No I hadn't figured that out as yet as I have to connect the info given by folks, to the unlabelled coins photos I posted, but now I know for sure which you mean I really like all the little history bits I'm learning through coins in here!

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 02:46 am So many in here! Zarboy, I noticed you're in South Africa. Cool. Maybe you can help me with info or something down the road when and if I can ever find out where in Africa my daughters Dad's ancestors came from. Of course I'm assuming you're into collecting African coins. Maybe you aren't though? Report this Post to the Staff
