Guest Villej Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I got this coin from shop, I think they thought it was a 2 euros coin, as its size is exactly same.I think it could be Indian, but I didn't found a pic of it anywhere on Internet.Here's some pics, hope you can help to identify it:Hi-res pic 1Hi-res pic 2 Quote
Unknown Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Is it me, or the pictures cannot be seen? Quote

Chris Perkins Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 The language looks Thai, or Burmese (somewhere around there). I don't think it's Indian. I'm sure someone with a Krause to hand will be along soon. Quote
Unknown Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 If you are not interested in the coin, do not get rid of it, I will gladly take it of your hands for the £2 that you "lost" (I see it more like a lucky gain). If it happens to be more valuable than that, it will depend on how much more... Quote
Guest Villej Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I'm not getting rid of it.I'm just intrested to know what coin that is, myself I can't figure it out. Quote
Master Jmd Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I have a few coins like that, and i have always thought them to be Israilian (even though i doubt it) or (as chris said) Burmese...My coins that are like that are like British 20p's and 50p's, they all have that man in glasses on the obverse no matter what the date is...i can not say what it definately is though...Kulhi will probably know...

Unknown Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Pity, I am always happy to take all opportunities to add different (and if possible cheap ) coins to my collection. O well, I am sure you will enjoy adding it to your collection.E2, always better than £2... Quote
Sylvester Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Yeah cos £2 is worth more... so much more too lose, it's better to lose €2. Quote
Guest Villej Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Found few coins that has probably same man 'printed' in them.http://www.omnicoin.com/search_results.asp...t=1001&cn=10088Would that coin I posted be from Thailand? Quote
Guest Villej Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Now I found it, it's 10 Bath Thai coin. But it differs from a coin on the web page, so I think it may be few years older.http://www.thailandlife.com/thaicoins.htm Quote
kuhli Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 It is indeed a Thailand 10 baht, from 1996, KM#328.2, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Reign of King Rama IX (Phra Maha Bhumiphol Adulyadej).The coin, which is still legal tender in Thailand, is worth about €0.20, so it is very profitable to try and pass it off as a €1 or €2 instead of cashing it in at an exchange.
