I wanted to say thank you for showing these coins. I collect a lot of Asia coins and loved this style and even picked one up. I had never seen it prior to you sharing yours.

 

No problem. You did great. Very very nice example.

I have quite a few of these Thai commemoratives, hard to pick out the "beautiful" ones.






1935 satang I like for the simplicity.

 

Those are quite nice.

Great coins, S. Man. All of them, as usual. Thanks for posting.

 

OK guys, I will jump in. I live here in Asia and have several thousand Asian coins, so where to begin? Below is an RVN 20 dong 1968. It is identical to one which I brought back from there in 1971. In about 2007, I got rid of almost all my "stuff" and moved to Thailand. In about 2016, I started collecting coins in earnest.

Yeah, I like these. I've bid on several, but they always seem to go for more than my pain threshold. The higher an item goes above melt, the higher my pain.This one was about $350.00, correct?
Thanks for posting.

I also like the canoe money and the Tiger Tongue money from that part of the world.
There's also some bullet money and some ant head money, I believe, but I'm not real impressed with those two.
