I have seven coins here that I am trying to identify. Does anyone know what they are? - This coin has the words "CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA" written on it. It was made in 1960, and has a picture of a womans head on the front along with the words and the date. On the reverse side is the number "20" in the middle of a wreath or something. Its silver in colorand I would like to find out what it is. - My next coin a pale brown/goldish color. On the front it has a giant number "2" with the numbers 19 on its left and 76 on the right, the date obviously. Directaly under the two are the initials "BP." in small print and on the bottom the word "FORINT". The reverse side has the words "Magyar Nepkoztarsasag", with a weird symbol on the bottom. - I haveanother coin with "Magyar Nepkoztarsasag", on it but 10 filler.
First coin is a silver 20 rappen from Switzerland Second is a Hungarian 2 forint,although not the same one as in my pic.Does yours have a hammer and sickle on it or does it look like the one on this ebay sale? (scroll down to big pic) http://cgi.ebay.com/Coin-Sets-Of-Al...goryZ545QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Third is a Hungarian 10 filler Now I'm tired....
Hammer and ear please But the 2 forint coins from that time (early 1950) were CuNi pieces. On the later "socialist" coins that was replaced by the shield. That is the one ... The newer ones from democratic Hungary (1992 and later) say KÖZTARSASAG (Republic) only, not NEPKÖZTARSASAG (People's Republic) any more. http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img5/85-591.jpg Christian
Yes Thank You! The Swiss and 10 Filler were right first and the 2 Forint I have is the one by Chrisild. I purposely didn't add all 7 because I had to leave so here are two more. - 10 KURUS, 1974, copper colored, picture of grain on front back: picture of farmer on tractor ATATURK underneath farmer words TURKIYE CUMHURIYETI SABAN KILICTAN USTUNDUR surrounding the farmer picture of moon and star (star on left, moon facing left) Think it's from Turkey not sure - 1 ORE 1966 crown on top brownish in color BACK: GUSTAF VI ADOLF SVERICES KONUNG CROWN ON TOP
Ok last two then I have a few middle eastern coins needing identifycation. -1 DINAR 1965 6 stars on top wreath like on bottom BACK: tortch like swmbol with one star on top of symbol Weird lettering surrounding back of coin silver in coloring -1 ?? 1957 picture of guy with what looks to be greek lettering surrounding it silver in coloring BACK: picture of a man and woman outline leaning on a box with a + in it crown on top of box more weird lettering surrounding the coin
weird lettering, then I would assume it's greek. second one is probably a greek drachma Hard to tell for sure without pictures, though.
the first bunch should be easy to identify but the last one is a true stumper BUT...hehe.....thanks to Rick's hint....I found this little thumbnail of a 1957 Greek 2 drachma which seems to fit your description but it wouldn't enlarge,Is this your coin?
Yugoslavia, 1 dinar ... should be KM# 36. http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img3/194-36.jpg Christian
I looked at my old greece coin and it was the same and thanks for identifying them! I now have three more coins that need to be identified. I don't have them with me so there going to be off. The first one is from the middle east and has a tower looking thing on it worth 10 cents. I also have the same coins but in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, and something else...i think. Don't worry about the others at this moment.
