(Images attached below) Well the coin I most want identified is the Iranian coin that I found a few years back. There was one piece similar to it that I found on this website, but I think the amount and maybe the year are different from that one. Its probably pretty recent, but I'd still like to know more about it. I also have a 1980 'Hong Kong' Two Dollar piece with Elizabeth the Second on one side. I found an older, similar one dollar piece on here, but I would like to know a bit more about mine. Also, the edges on mine are scalloped? It's a bit grimy on the one side, too. I also have some other coins, but the only ones of note would be two 1969 Mexican coins, a 1 centavo and a 20 centavo, neither of which I took pictures of, although I can if someone would like to see them. I'm not a coin collector, but I do manage to pick up a few coins now and then, and I've had the Iranian and the 'Hong Kong' coin for a few years and finally decided to see about them. Any one willing to help?
Why the quote marks around Hong Kong, which in 1980 was still a coin-issuing British Colony, as it had been since 1898, and continued to be for the full 99 years that it was leased from China? All of its coins are bi-lingual.
Your '2 Dollars' coin is made of Copper-Nickel and its scalloped; same as the '20 Cents' from that period. The last coins under the British Colony were issued in 1998.
Lol, the quote marks are because I know absolutely nothing about these things, and so I used the quotes to infer my questioning tone as to if that was the proper name for the coin. Apparently, Hong Kong is the proper name . Now I know. Thank you.
Well, thank you all for the help and the welcome. I appreciate it very much. I figured neither of my coins was worth very much, and just wanted to know a bit about them. Its nice to have a few small things from so very far way.
