<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buzer, post: 45002, member: 2755&quot;]Well i was rummaging through some coins of my grandfathers and i found these three that i couldn&#039;t find any information on myself. I was wondering if anyonecan help me identify them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have some poor digi photo&#039;s at the following link ( <a href="http://www.users.on.net/~smwiles/coins.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.users.on.net/~smwiles/coins.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.users.on.net/~smwiles/coins.jpg</a> ), but the size and descriptions are as follows.</p><p><br /></p><p>First - Silver(?) Coin</p><p>15mm&nbsp; x&nbsp; 01mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Front Side:</p><p>has a &quot;5&quot; in the middle of the coin and along the outside it reads </p><p>◦STRAIT SETTLEMENTS◦1888◦FIVE CENTS◦</p><p>The &quot;5&quot; also has a mark on it, like a drop of molten liquid dropped on it and it was slightly pressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back Side:</p><p>Has a queens head on it, and says &quot;VICTORIA QUEEN&quot; around the head.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second - Brown Coin 1</p><p>30mm x 02mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Front Side:</p><p>Has &quot;ONE CENT&quot; in the middle running vertical and some oriental characters running horizontal. These are both en-circled by a reef that has a gap at the top. Around the reef reads, &quot;BRITISH NORTH BORNEO C2&quot; it also has some more writing at the bottom of the reef and it looks to be a form of Arabic(?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Back Side:</p><p>Has a coat of arms in the middle (British North Borneo&#039;s coat of arms i assume) with a person standing on either sides of the arms. The coat of arms has a ribbon at the bottom with some print on it i cannot make out. And at the bottom-middle of the coin it has the date printed &quot;1888&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third - Brown Coin 2 (badly Worn)</p><p>30mm x 1.5mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Front Side:</p><p>Has the following print in the middle surrounded by a reef,</p><p>&quot;ONE </p><p>CENT </p><p>INDIA </p><p>STRAIT </p><p>1862&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Back Side:</p><p>Rather plain and has a head of Queen Victoria in the middle with the print &quot;VICTORIA QUEEN&quot; around the outside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
