I have a coin which I assume is Asian. Can anybody tell me where it’s from?
I received it as change the other day and none of my friends knew where it was from. It had a man on the front with a hat that had the head of a bird protruding from the top. On the back it is divided into 9 rectangular sections. Some of the items depicte on the back include a wheel, a fish, and a vase-like object.
Looks like you’re describing coins from Bhutan, most probably the mid-20th century issues where English legend weren’t present on them. Here’s an example of a Bhutanese coin from that era, a 1/2 rupee dated 1950 :

Value of your coin would depend on the denomination and condition. In general, world coins in circulated conditions are being sold in coin shops for 10 to 50 cents each.
