Many have the country's name on it in a language you can easily read (like "Canada" or "Peru"), but sometimes it's not that obvious.

When you find a coin that you can't easily identify, here are some pages to help you.

• If you see writing on the coin, try the Identifying World Coins using Words first.
• If you don't see any writing on the coin, or the Word Guide didn't help, try finding a picture of your coin in the Identifying World Coins using Pictures guide.
• If you still can't tell what country your coin is from, try the Identifying World Coins guide from WorldCoinGallery.com
