<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7456518, member: 112&quot;]You kinda need to define for us how you define the words you used - dated. If you mean a coin that has an actual numerical date on it, there&#039;s one answer. But if mean a coin that be dated to having come from a particular time period, there&#039;s another and completely different answer. And if ya wanna get really picky ya have to define if you&#039;re talking about Roman numerals as in III or IV, or Arabic numerals as in 3 or 4. Because that makes a difference too.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you also have to define another word you used - coin. And I say that because there&#039;s more than just one definition - depending on who you ask of course. And I&#039;m mentioning this because the Chinese had what can be defined as coins many centuries before coins ever existed in the Western world. And those Chinese coins can be dated to a specific time period, that far predates the first coins produced in the Western world by the Lydians in approx 700 BC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the simplest answer to your question, the first coin with Arabic numerals on it for the date, that answer can be found here in this thread - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-the-oldest-dated-coin.32375/#post-318650" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-the-oldest-dated-coin.32375/#post-318650">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-the-oldest-dated-coin.32375/#post-318650</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
