Can anyone help in identifying these coins. My brother left me about a 1000 foreign coins and I am having trouble indentifying some.

Hopefully I can get some help

    The two on the right are NOT from China. They are from Taiwan.

    The top right is a Taiwan 1 dollar from 1975
    The bottom right is a Taiwan 5 dollar from 1972

    Those two are listed in Krause under "Republic of China".

    Maybe you should let them know?

    Taiwan’s official name is Republic of China which is not to be confused with China which its official name is People’s republic of China. They really should just have listed it as Taiwan to stop confusions.

    Maybe. But if you're trying to look the coins up in the Krause catalog, you still have to look under "China".
