Where are these coins from, and what do they say?
http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx201/meteoraminutes/Coins1.jpg
that is what i think to be the front of each coin. I think that the gold one is from Greece, but I really do not know.
Here is the opposite side of each coin (in the same order)
I am by no means an expert in languages, but these are probably fairly accurate translations. The first two coins are 1 Yuan from the People’s Republic of China, and the third coin is a 100 Drachmes from Greece. By the way, the coins are probably worth maybe a buck or so apiece.
“ZHONGHUA RENMIN GONGHEGUO” means “People’s Republic of China”
“ZHONGGUO RENMIN YINHANG” means “People’s Bank of China”
Yuan is the denomination of the coin like “Dollar” in many other countries
The word yuan means ’round’ in Chinese
“metae alexandros” means “about Alexander”
“basileys makedonci” means “kingdom of macedonia”
“eaahnikh ahmokpatia” means “hellenic republic”
I hope that helps.
