triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9404 Posts	Posted 12/08/2006 9:24 pm I have just received 3 coins from a friend. The coins are from Thailand and I can't translate the date to Gregorian Calender. Can anyone help please. The reference in front of the Krause does not show one of the figures (second from the left). 2 of the coins have this date... Which I think is 237 The other coin has this date... Which I think is 248 On looking at it again, the second character may be a 5, this would make the coins 2537 and 2548. If this correct, does anyone have a conversion for these? Thank you in anticipation Steve Edited by triggersmob 12/08/2006 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 12/08/2006 9:50 pm It's been the 2500's in Thailand since AD 1957, so "5" for the second digit is always a good first guess, unless you know it's an older coin (and on many older coins, a different era was used). The top date is indeed 2537 Buddhist Era, which is 1994. You've got it right on the lower date too: BE 2548 is AD 2005 - I don't think you'll find that one in Krause yet... 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
