I just finished cataloging my lated purchase of world coins, bur can't seem to ID these last 3 Any help would be appreciated
I've always wondered why North Korean coins had English on them. The script on the other one looks like a script from southern Asia. Vietnamese or Khmer Rouge Cambodia perhaps?
#1 is from Laos. 1980. KM#24. its made of Aluminum. 50ATT. Mintage is unknown. VF books at .45 Hope this helps. Information from Page 1293 of 2005 Standard Catalog of World Coins.

Gd It is my opinion, that the #1 man for foreign gold coins and ancient coins. Is the lovely and mol-tee talented with cowboy hat, from the great state of UTAH GDJMSP. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE ON THIS FORUM.
Why thanks Bruce !! But for the record - I know didley about ancients and just a tad about gold. I just like the coins
Doug,the New Zealand Mint is a private company which strikes New Zealand's bullion pieces,which are neither legal tender,nor are they officially recognised.New Zealand's coins have always been struck at mints such as the Royal Mint,the Royal Australian Mint,& the Royal Canadian Mint. New Zealand's new coins are being struck at the Royal Canadian Mint,& will be released at the end of July. Aidan.
Aidan, I'm not trying to argue - you're from NZ, I'm not. I'm just saying you can buy the coins there. They have them on the web site available for sale. And yes I mean the same legal tender coins as used in commerce - they sell them in Proof sets and Uncirculated sets in 5c, 10c 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 denominations. You are correct of course about the bullion coins - they sell them too.
