Another one

Ok, I have posted quite a few threads dedicated to each different coin I have since each are dedicated to different regions. If this is troublesome, from now on I will put all of my coins on one thread. Please let me know. I dont want to junk up the forum.

Here are some more coins I am wondering about. They are both really worn out, so I doubt they have any value. I would just like some info on them, if anybody knows anything about them.

The first one says "Nederland" across one side of the coin. Date is 1942 There is a just visible boat with a single sail and flag on its mast (It appears to be a viking boat of some sort) with waves underneath. This is below the word "Nederland". On the other side it has a large "25" with the word "cents" on a plaque below. It has two leaves, a leaf on each side of the "25".

The second one I know absolutely nothing about., besides the fact that it feels/looks like brass.

Cant quite make out the 1st one but I have a idea that it is from the Netherlands, the other I have no idea at all sorry other than it is proberly Japan or China :stooge:

 

Well De Orc, at least you are replying to every single one of my threads LOL

 

Can you see a date on the 1st coin?

 

The second coin is a chinese cash coin from the Ch'ing dynasty, specifically from Ch'ien Lung (1736-1795AD). You´ve shown the obverse (side with more characters) rotated 90 CCW. Someone may come along and be able to confirm that ID.

 

acanthite,The date you mentioned is when it was in circulation? Is the condition of the coin normal? (kinda brushed look)

De Orc, the date on the first coin is 1942 below the "cents" stamp.

 

The date range is when it was minted, as for how long after that it would have remained in circulation I couldn´t say since this coin type was produced for centuries. There are some members here such as gxseries who know more about these coins and may be able to tell you.

 

1942 netherlands 25c composit zinc

27,800,000

Sorry to say in that condition not worth very much It would have been issued under German Occupation

 

In good condition what would it have been worth, andwhere did you get your info?

 

Between .75c to $1.5 got the info from my rather out of date Krause LOL

 

I´m not an expert but these cash coins sometimes have that heavy striated look to them, so I don´t think its abnormal. BTW, I think the mint mark (reverse side, also rotated 90 degrees CCW in your photo) is from the Peking Board of Public Works.

 

So what you're saying is... my pics are almost upside-down. LOL

Thanks for the info guys, any more would be much appreciated!
