<p>[QUOTE="drathbun, post: 1607817, member: 42789"]I had a bunch of coins with the same man on the front, so I assumed they were all from the same country. We're working our way through a bucket of a bunch of foreign coins (some recent, some from early 1900's) and the ones with recognizable lettering I have been able to find via google's image search. But I am not familiar with oriental script at all. In fact I originally thought this was more arabic. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> After the help of the board to solve this one, and some diligent searching with my son on the others, we're down to only six unidentified coins. One of them I found by searching for "chinese coin square hole" but I have no way of determining if it's an actual coin or a copy. Odds are good it's a copy, probably a souvenir that my folks brought back from one of their trips overseas, or possibly from my dad when he was in Korea during the war.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm trying to get good scans of the remaining coins and will post them, hoping someone on the board will be able to recognize them and help point us in the right direction.
