The mystery Asian coin is from Thailand. I am researching it now…

@Mr. Numismatist solved already…good job…imo…Spark

 

What kind of metal detector did you use...

 

I like all but the zinc rot, dryer and slug.

Being a collector of World Coins as well as U.S., I have never seen any Aruba coins so this is new. I have the full set of the “Coat of Arms” English issue, and many euro denoms picked up by friends who cruise in their retirement. I do have a few Thai, that’s how I recognized it. And I had 12 steel cents collected in the 1960’s that have since been passed on to my children as I “pass them forward” to the next generation.

A final thought…being in NYC you have an enhanced probability to acquire European and Asian coinage as tourists cycle through the city. I’m thinking a lot of the Coinstar rejects come from tourism commerce of businesses and attractions. I’m also sure a fair portion of those tourist coins never see a Coinstar machine.

Nice display…thanks for sharing these and your metal detecting treasures as well.

The coin is from Thailand (Siam)
1 Baht, King Rama IX, Date 2505 (AD 1962), Copper-nickel

 

I always like seeing euro coins. They bring back good memories, being that I used them for six years as a child when my dad was stationed overseas.

 

Cool finds!
Liking the Thailand coin and Steel Cent.
