That&#039;s the&nbsp; Republic of Slovenia, a portion of the former Cezchoslovakia.Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic, one of many names the country has had at different post-WW II historical periods.German Federal Republic, <i>i.e.</i> West Germany before reuinification, just plain Germany now.Republic of AustriaHungary.[/QUOTE]That&#039;s about all I can add to what you already know off the top of my head.&nbsp; Without pictures a full response is just about impossible - for example most Israeli coins were issued in multiple years, so without a picture noone, not even our Israeli members, can date it.</p><p><br /></p><p>With pictures, a full response to everything you are asking would probably be only a 20-40 minute project.&nbsp; BTW, a visit to your local public library and a little time with Krause would also be likely to answer all your questions.&nbsp; Krause even includes a page of characters used for dates in many countries that don&#039;t use the Roman alphabet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
