Help ID these coins

Postby Sanford02 » Wed Sep 27, 2017 12:32 pm

Hello,
I got some coins in a bag of .999 nickel from the LCS. Can you help me ID these ones? Are they .999 nickel? I confirmed that they stick to a magnet.

First seems to be a French Morocco franc, nickel.

Based on the size difference between the Morocco Dirhams and the Chinese coins, I'd say the later might be 5 Cents Y348 not 10 cents Y349 - same design

I stand corrected, you are right it is 5 Cents Y348, the tell is the character to the left of the spade (upside down in picture) is the symbol for 5 in 'official chinese'.
