Back in November at the start of the holiday season I found two Asian coins in my change. Here in New York City the holiday season starts at the end of Halloween through New Year's Day.
The waves of tourist bring in change from their homes. First come the Asian toruist and then the Europeans and finally people from the other states.
Here are the two finds.
The bigger one is a 1 yuan from China 2003 given by a friendly cashier who knows I collect.
The little one is a 1 baht from Thailand, I believe 2004, given back as a dime after buying some bad coffee.
Here's the stats for both coins...
Type/Country: 1 Yuan / China
Edge: Right side up when Obverse is facing up, ^^.
Year: 2003
Mintage: Unknown.
Metal: Nickel-Plated Steel
Value: UNC $2.00
Type/Country: 1 Baht / Thailand
Year: 2004 (I'm not 100% positive on the date.)
Mintage: 562,018,000
Metal: Copper-Nickel
Value: UNC $0.10
I still love finding foreign money in my change but I miss the old American coins I was use to finding.
Do you have Asian coins and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
I am so glad you have this website. I have a silver/nickel coin of asian look that just has asian script around a 100 on one side and a gentleman with a tall hat surrounded by script on the other side.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a South Korean 100 won worth $0.15 no matter what year.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to a picture of one http://128.192.145.172/foreign/1994unk15.jpg
I agree this website is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI have an asiann coin that onone side looks like it is surronded with a christman reath with a flower at the bottom anf on the other side their is a dragon with asian symbols around it.
Can you tell me the date mad and value if possible?
Can you tell me the date mad and value if possible?
ReplyDeleteWithout seeing the coin it's not possible to know the date.
It is from Japan as they used wreaths and dragons since the 1800's.
Depending on size, color, and other measurements I can identify it better.
But I think it may be a Yen.
i have a coin that has the front like a 1 yuan coin from china, but the back of a 1 baht coin from thailand. I'm confused, could you tell me the value if possible?
ReplyDelete1 yuan coin from china, but the back of a 1 baht coin from thailand. I'm confused,
ReplyDeleteWithout a picture or a detailed description I can only assume it is a fake.
If it is a missprint how much could it be worth?
ReplyDeleteIf it is a missprint how much could it be worth?
ReplyDeleteIt's not possible because they are 2 different countries their coins come from different places.
is it worth anything as a fake?
ReplyDeleteis it worth anything as a fake?
ReplyDeleteNot really, magic coins usually sell for $3 to $5. This may be considered a magic coin.
There is a possibility that it is something else (token, fantasy piece) if you can get a decent picture of both sides maybe I can help.
How do i post a picture?
ReplyDeleteHow do i post a picture?

ReplyDeleteIt worked. Nice pictures.
You were confused my first image was of the front of 2 different coins. The second picture is the reverse of the same 2 different coins.
Your coin is a normal 1 Baht from Thailand the year reads 2530 or 1987.
It's about $0.05

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, do you have a question?

ReplyDeleteDepends on year but most are the same value.

Thank you for having this site! I have a coin which I always suspected as being from Thailand (due to the writing) but now I know for sure that it is the 1 baht you have on display here ('cept mine is in rougher condition). I was wondering how can you tell the date for which the coin is from?
ReplyDeleteThailand (due to the writing) but now I know for sure that it is the 1 baht you have on display here ('cept mine is in rougher condition). I was wondering how can you tell the date for which the coin is from?
ReplyDeleteThe date is above the circle thing next to the buildings.
I am never positive with Thailand dates.
1st use this to identify the numbers...

then subtract by 543 to get the year.
I have a china soviet 1934 dollar. front: globe w/ hammer & sickle. back: denomination w/ circle, solid stars. Was authenticated by ANACS as genuine in 1977. Any idea of value? Do you think this is worth sending out for grading?
ReplyDeletechina soviet 1934 dollar. front: globe w/ hammer & sickle. back: denomination w/ circle, solid stars. Was authenticated by ANACS as genuine in 1977
ReplyDeleteFrom SZECHUAN-SHENSI SOVIET
About $200.00 in fine
There are 6 major varieties and value goes up or down $25.00 depending on which but still in a low grade of fine it's about $200.00 for most.
Definitely needs grading at higher grades it's $500 plus.
I have a Chinese (I think) coin that is circular with a square in the middle. It is very worn but most of the details are still visible and it is made of copper. Do you know what it is worth?

ReplyDeleteHi, I found these coins in my deceased grandmother's jewelry box and have no idea where they are from. One is dated 1982 and the other 1977. She did travel a good bit during this time frame. Here is a link: http://s1188.photobucket.com/albums/z411/amchasemd/?albumview=slideshow Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOne is dated 1982 and the other 1977.

Thanks!
