<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 688433, member: 4703&quot;]The ROC coin is dated Republic Year 18 (1929).&nbsp; The denomination is 2, but I don&#039;t recognize the old-style second character as either fen/cent or yuan/dollar.&nbsp; Also, the portrait doesn&#039;t look like any of Sun Yat Sen that I have seen on coins, although he&#039;s the closest match among those who might have their bust on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of early ROC coins with busts were from the national government, and very few appear on provincial coins of the era.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been unable to match your picture with any reported coin in my library, so I&#039;m guessing its that very common Chinese product - a fantasy piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m assuming you have already IDed the Taisho 11 (1922) bronze sen and the Showa 32 or 33 (1957/58) silver ¥100 in your picture.&nbsp; The sen is one of the nicest I&#039;ve seen from that time period.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t help you on the Bolivian piece - all I know about Bolivian coinage is what I&#039;ve read in Krause![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
