Okay, I gotta ask. Sorry. How'd that Republic of Mexico get there? Post #7982? We had either Philippines or 1944. Did I miss something?

In a poor attempt to follow up coin_nut's sweet rupee, I will post this 1945 (year 12) Manchurian (or Manchoukuo) fen. It's pretty interesting but poorly struck. I would have to guess if struck any better it would be destroyed. It's supposedly made of magnesite fiber, but I don't fully understand. Numista (see https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22469.html) states "magnesite fiber," but if you google magnesite, you get this explanation: "Magnesite, the mineral magnesium carbonate (MgCO3), a member of the calcite group of carbonate minerals that is a principal source of magnesium." So I'm failing to grasp the "fiber" aspect.

 

Sorry, I didn't even notice that. I was at school and I was finding pictures of the 50 centavos coin to post but got distracted and started a nice conversation with a classmate about coin collecting. The page didn't reload so I didn't know another coin was posted. Whoops.

It was supposed to be after post #7980 though.

 

China Manchukuo - 5 Fen, 1944 Red "Fiber"

 

Wouldn't have worked there either.

 

We all make mistakes on here, and I find it best to just keep on as best you can rather than go making someone wrong. I recently received 2 of these coins, made in China whilst occupied by the Japanese. 1942 China 5 fen. One for you, Muzyck? Aluminum, EF45 or so.

 

I have some nice ones without the usual corrosion.

China Provisional Government 1942 Federal Reserve 1 Chiao

 

I should have figured you would have one (or more). What is the story about the 31 year? is that MGY or what calendar?

 

Good question. I checked KM for a clue and the possible answer is that the "Puppet Emperor" under the assumed name of K'ang Te was previously the last emperor of China - Hsuan T'ung (1909-11). Add 31 to 1909 and that would put you close to the correct date. Still off by a year or two. That is just a guess though.

 

Might as well post another coin, British India, AR rupee, 1942 Bombay mint

 

Palestine - 2 Mils, 1942

 

1927 British Palestine 1 mil

 

Technically a medal but dated 1927. German medal for Hindenburg.

 

Nice one. Didn't he blow up in the air somewhere?

 

Weimar Germany and 1927 with this three reichsmark piece commemorating 100 years of the city of Bremerhaven. One of maybe three slabbed coins I own.
