More info? All I can tell is they are oriental from some place. Who would want to fake them.

Welcom to the Crew!

Have no idea on the coins ...... there is a section called 'Ask Pappy' he will probably be able to help you.

thank you all for your warm welcome, all i seem to be able to find is that the one with the dragon seems to be called a "chinese Dragon dollar" now if it is fake (wich it very well may be) it is a real good knockoff. i will "ask pappy" if he knows anyhting, but otherwise i am clueless. any site that i find with any info, is written with more advanced terminology about coins than i kno about

Default wow

What a huge coincidence , ive 4 coins similar but not exactly the same , there is a dragon on one side and loads of oriental characters and an effigy of someone obviously an emperor and two dates somewhat like our bi centiniel coins only these dates i suspect show the dates an individual reigned.
Silver in colour and no signs of tarnish like silver might do , id like to think they are silver but have doubts.
Ive at least got a name for these now , without doubt they must be dragon dollars as each one has a magnificent dragon on the reverse.Slightly bigger but thinner than a US silver dollar , about the size of a clad bi centiniel dollar really come to think of it.
