Foreign Coin Identification And Rarity #1 1 1

[Coin & Bullion Collector]

Hello,

I found this coin in a collection I had in storage. Not sure which country this is from. Does anyone have one, or know what this is? Also, did a ping test just out of curiosity, and it kinda sounded like silver. The rim is a colored silver. (see Photos) Does anyone know if this is worth anything? It's hard to research what it is without knowing what its called. Thanks

It’s Thai.

Thanks! I'm Guessing it's not worth anything then. It will be a lot easier to research it now though

My friend, this is not an acceptable way to refer to another country's coin and currency.  There are members here who collect them.  You would get more mileage out of your comments if you were to politely point out the preferred (correct) way to display reeding on a coin (which implies precious metal content) is by holding it on opposite sides of its edge with a thumb and forefinger.

   Per my 2010 edition of the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000, these coins were composed of copper nickel, minted from 1962-82 without a change in the date, with a total mintage of over 883 million pieces, and a value of 50 cents uncirculated. (The NGC World Coin Price Guide yields no information.) 

  Notwithstanding the low value of this particular coin, you should never hold a coin you want to collect in your bare hands, except by its edges if you must. Skin oils can cause discoloration.

Worthless pocket change.
