Help with identification of two coins needed
August 08, 2008, 05:59:16 PM
I have a bronze/brass coloured coin.  It has a snarling lion's head on one side. It's mane is flowing in the breeze. The other side has a walking man with a rfile and bullet belt across his chest.  He has a small pouch hanging on his left side. He appears to be in a field with small trees in the background and possibly mountainous  terrain. It is about the size of a US 10 or AU 5 cent. The denomination is 5.

The other coin has a stylised seated cat/lion, facing left, front legs straight, back legs crouching.  It looks Indian or asian in design.  The other side has what looks like a laurel wreath or rose bushes left and right. It has minimal writing between which looks like a backward c 7 :
the next line down looks like a sideways 8 seperated by a long vertical line connected to another sideways "8 and :"
No denomination. About the size of a US 1 cent.  Copper.

Any ideas?

The first one is Ethiopian, Yass.  I've had about a dozen little somethings to drink, or else I"d be more helpful at the moment. 

The second coin sounds like a Burmese coin. 

Hopefully with those, you can find them in a world catalog?

Do add this coin to my collection?

Thanks ElleKitty.
The first is indeed an Ethiopia - 5 Cent

I'll check out Burma.
