Decided to sort all the random coins collected by my family, and there are a few I can't identify yet.

I will be googling them, but inspired by the 'have MN visited every country' thread, I wondered if anyone knows these at a glance!

Pics attached with and without flash...

The one with the menora will be an Israeli coin!

coiner · 01/01/2020 13:52

BillieEyeIash it does say Israel; do you know what the currency is?

I hadn't even looked that closely but so it does 😂

user1494050295 · 01/01/2020 14:42

Bottom middle is Swiss I think

Lilamani · 01/01/2020 14:47

The one on its own is probably Thai.

Lilamani · 01/01/2020 14:50

Yes, just checked and it's a 2 baht coin.

The one with 15 on it is a Russian coin. 15 kopeks.

coiner · 01/01/2020 15:03

That's a Sri Lankan coin! I recognized the language, I just didn't know that Sri Lanka uses cents.

buttons101 · 01/01/2020 16:45

Top right coin looks like Japanese yen 🤔

coiner · 01/01/2020 18:11

You lot are fab. I've gone a bit under the weather, but when I'm feeling up to it I'll search those currencies to work out which coins they are precisely Smile

The one that says CFSR is Czechoslovakia 20 hellers I think

GiantKitten · 01/01/2020 18:31

Top middle is from somewhere Muslim

It has 2 dates, 1987 & 14 something (can’t read clearly on phone)

Islam started in 600 ish

coiner · 01/01/2020 20:36

1407?

OP posts:
coiner · 01/01/2020 21:47

Lilamani You were right! 50 Sri Lankan cents, which is equivalent to half a rupee.

buttons101 Well done - 10 Japanese yen, minted between 1951 and 1959, apparently.

RagamuffinCat Spot on!

Now to work out the final two...

coiner · 01/01/2020 21:50

Ooooh GiantKitten the coin with Muslim links is 1 dirham from Morocco!

It's a Thai Bhat

coiner · 01/01/2020 22:16

Thanks! Struggling to find the value. I should have been able to work it out from the other Bhat coin!
