Thailand, 1 baht, copper-nickel. Not sure of the year, but I think they use the Buddhist era.
@furryfrog02 is correct, it's a Chinese "cash" coin from the reign of the Qianlong emperor (1736-95), from the Board of Works mint in Beijing....
Looks like a lot of people are assigning this coin to me by default. As my idol Homer Simpson said, "De-fault! The two sweetest words in the...
All right, how about a nice string of patricide, rebellion, and incest, Parthian-style? ;) Let's start with Phraates III (c.70-57 BC). He was...
The last two coins are indeed from the Guang Xu emperor (1875-1908), from the Guangzhou mint in Guangdong province. Interestingly, these are...
Well, as Homer Simpson once said, "You can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true." The facts you cite prove that the coin is mine, and...
I guess this could be one of mine: I'm not afraid of worn coins, as I've stated before I started out with $3 and $5 LRBs from a local coin...
Great photo, and a very attractively toned coin! Your coin is catalogued as Album 68 in Steve Album's "Checklist of Islamic Coins (3rd Edition)"....
Thank you @Alwin for your input. Your point about lower-than-expected style diversity is very true. I certainly would not claim that most mints...
I'm late to the party as usual, but welcome @EireWeish ! Please forward your membership dues to me, I'll make sure the Treasurer gets them...
@dougsmit : You are correct, if we accept the reassignment of S. 81 coinage to Sanatrukes (the nephew of Osroes I), there are no coins struck...
Thank you for the kind words and suggestions, everyone. @Mat : Your suggestion about style isn't stupid at all. On some earlier issues, there is...
For what it's worth, I also immediately saw the same pattern as @shanxi . Unfortunately, that head is not distinctive enough for ID by itself,...
This post is a little longer (and more speculative) than usual, but I hope you enjoy it and I welcome any feedback on my (possibly hare-brained)...
I guess I might mention that I am proud of my Sicilian heritage, and I recently posted about a coin of the Normans of Sicily:...
Nice! Here's an obol of Eukratides I: [ATTACH]
That's a very cool token. So, they offered taxidermy and fancy glasswork in the same store? That seems like an odd mix of businesses to offer.
This is what I use as well. Of course, it leaves the coins of non-Islamic states in India unaccounted for, but I try not to worry too much over...
Well, an extreme rarity, if genuine. I don't see anything that immediately screams "fake" to me, but such an expensive rarity would normally be...
Looks like an imitation of Sellwood type 19 or 20 (reverse legend is too blundered to guess which type was meant) of Artabanos I (old attribution)...
