Question about a coin...
I got a coin a few years back, but I'm not sure what country it's from or how much it is worth. I think it might be an Arabic penny or something, but I really don't know.

That coin looks similiar to Yen in Japan, or maybe some type of ancient artifact.
I'm possibly wrong though. |
I've been looking through lists of coins. I've even looked through some lists of holed coins, but I'm still not coming up with anything.
|
It's definitely not a Yen. The script in it is not Japanese for sure.
By the looks of it, it MAY be Asian, but I strongly doubt it to be Japanese. |
It might be an Arabic one, by the looks of it's inscription.
|
After digging for a while, I think it may be Thai. o_O
It seems to be a Thai "Satang." Further research has revealed that 1 satang is worth about 5 cents. WOO! A WHOLE FIVE CENTS! This is actually more than I expected. Like I said, I thought it was a penny. |
well its worth more than 5 cents now if you sell it to a collector have fun with that nickel
|
These appear not to be two sides of the same coin, the one on the right is indeed Thai but the left one looks like it's from India.
|
That is definitely two sides of the same coin.
It is worth 10 satang. edit Actually, looking at that again, that's made out of something copper. A penny! It's old & apparently very rare. You can sell it for a dollar. More likely, you can spend it in Thailand, like how people spend their 2$ bills and old pennies here in the US. When converting to USD, it is worth 3/100 of a cent. |
I'd keep it if I were you, looks rare-ish.
Maybe make a coin collection. I tried that once but all I got was a coin with a monkey on. |
Heh, the first side looks Gaelic.
|
To me the pattern looks like a snake one the 2nd one. I would keep the coins until someone demands for that coin at a high price
