I would bring this to the attention of the venerable yennus..he has helped out with translations of chinese coins many times.
Havn't seen him on the forum lately ..try a PM to him
 
Thanks Boyou, I'll do my best.

It's a Taiwanese Buddhist coin.

I think the reverse is: Year 2001, 50 Taiwan Dollars
I think the obverse is a Buddhist saying along the lines of: Kindness, Mercy, Joy (with spiritual blessings)

I can't quite make out all the characters. But this is my attempt to put it together:

Hope it helps.
 
Today i bought a Great Britain 1696 William the 3rd Sixpence. I would love to upload the pics, however i have upload restriction for some odd reason.

Hang around long enough & you'll see the spam attacks ( mostly early hours of the morning )
we even have a " PET " spammer named MACH :rolleyes:

But if you upload a relevant pic I don't think anybody would hit the report button ;)
 
I got it a little while ago but thought I would show it off and revive a thread

Great thread! Normally I only look at the silver and silver coin section. But these coins here are amazing!
Really enjoy looking at nice coins with a story! Thanks all!

Most of my collection contains bullion, recently I bought some ancient greek silver.
These are with the head of Zeus.

1922/21 Overdate Threepence Australia. :D

About time I got one of these. Only 800 or so in existence. No pictures of the coin as it is in safe keeping. Write up by S&C here about these coins including pics.

Other recent acquisitions include another two 1923 half pennies (vf, gvf), 1911 penny (chUnc red), 1906 Melbourne half sovereign (vf+) , 1879 Melbourne sovereign (ef).
