Through the islands of the Banda Sea to The Philippines

 

China, Ch’ing Dynasty Emperor K’ang Hsi (1662-1723), Shantung Province Lin-Ching Mint. Minted in 1667.

 

Japan (forgive the over-cropping)

 

Much better date.

 

Uzbekistan - Mangyt of Bukhara Tanga, 1226 AH

 

Here is a coin from a country that is next to the South China Sea, the Philippines, 50 Centavos, 1945.

 

We may be getting off the geographical track somewhat. Uzbekistan is landlocked N,S,E and West by the other 4 "stan's" and Philippines cannot be seen from Uzbekistan. Still nice coins though

 

Was thinking the same thing. And without many fans of the Stans here, might be a while before the next post....lol

 

We can re-start from your Russian piece.
Anybody??????

 

I'll post another to get us closer to an exit

 

Kazakhstan - 20 Tenge, 1993

 

Wow, nice design

 

Russia

 

I have some 'stans...let me look...Russia would be easy, here is Iran, 2 rials, 1981. I was slow, still works as straight shot across the water from Russia.

 

Khoqand within the territory of eastern Uzbekistan, modern Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tajikistan and southeastern Kazakhstan.

Khans of Khoqand, AR tanga, Sayyid Sultan khan, Khoqand, 1280 AH.

 

Forget this one. Yours was posting as I was a few seconds behind

 

Don't think it matters all that much. Just a thread. Mine doesn't really work with Iran. Just thought we could go back and retry one of the 'stans. Let the next play off either Turkey or one of the 'stans.

 

Borders changed a lot back in those days of the Silk Road. Money changers must have had a blast. Could do some coin collecting there and then!

 

I have a lot of Silk Road coinage, much of it medieval and obscure. Russia borders on most of the Silk Road so I'll post this one to open up the options.

Russia - Rouble, 1844
