I found 2 of these coins in my 4# sack of world coins but am unable to locate them in my 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins. Both are identical. Can someone please help with identification? I'd like to know year of issue, denomination, composition (looks silver but all I can say for sure is it's NON-magnetic), and KM# if possible please. Thank you!
I'm afraid you'll never find that coin in Krause until you look under Republic of China-Taiwan. Your picture is a cu-ni 1 Yuan dated Republic year 49, which is 1960 on the western calendar. First year of issue for KM#536. With a mintage of nearly 322-million that year and billions more in later years, it's very commonly found in dealer four-for-a-buck trays.
