Flashermac Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 The date is 1896 (1782+114). I'm having trouble reading the value from the photo. It's got to be low, since it is copper or bronze. A one baht coin was big and silver - and was worth a lot of money at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Limbo in JJ Market are a number of Thai coin collector's - next time in Bangkok get the wife to take it maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Was this ever an issued coin? as in currency? or is it intended as an amulet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 There are some coins floating around in Thailand that are counterfeit. I have seen some that were counterfeits of USA coinage. This coin does look like it might be real. Knowing where or how Limbo came into its possession might help in unraveling the mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yes, but is it actual money? or an amulet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
