mrichter830 Posted March 29 · Member Share Posted March 29 Hello all, I have this coin that I have posted to 3 forums, and ran through every coin identifier app I can find.... no luck so far. It is identical on the obverse and reverse. The letters UN appear on the top, with the UN emblem set in the field, and olive branches on either side of the emblem. It weighs 4.69 grams and is not magnetic. If other details I didn't think of are needed please let me know. Some back story just in case it helps. My grandmother left this to me along with some other decent coins. More sentimental value than anything. All identified but this one. She grew up in Taiwan but lived all over after marrying my grandfather that was in the airforce. This was around the late 60s-70s. Half the coins were from Asain countries but the rest were from all over Europe. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAZ Numismatics Posted March 29 · Member Share Posted March 29 It's a tourist token. When I visited the UN headquarters in NY back in the 90's, the gift shop had a selection of these kinds of cheap tokens you could get as souvenirs. They were all made in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand Posted March 29 · Member Share Posted March 29 Hello @mrichter830. Welcome to Nvmis Forvms. It's always nice to see coins, which were inherited, and which have sentimental value. It makes one wonder, where your grandmother got the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
