luke_idk Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Welcome! Just a little ad to what has been said. First coin was minted in 1978 (Arab year 1398). To convert Arab year, you should use a specific conversion table, but you can approximate it, this way: Arab year * 0.97 + 622 = AD year Konstantinos Kanaris is portraited on Grecian coin, you showed http://en.wikipedia....tantine_Kanaris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Qatar 1978 Taiwan (year 59 of the republic) 1960 China 1976 China - Hupeh - somewhere between 1900 and 1906ish (I don't have a book handy) Japan - (year 62 of Showa) 1987 N/A Japan - (year 15 of Showa) 1940 Greece 1984 @DFL911: Apostrophes are only used in Wade-Giles transliteration of Ch'ing / Qing. In pinyin, It is generally not used, except when spacing out words so e.g. differentiating the two character Xi'an (The city with the terracotta warriors) and the one character xian (line/thread).
