 I used to have one of these (token not coin); made about 40 years ago when UK changed over to decimal system, so 6 old pence = 2.5 new pence.

 I have this 1837 Canada token (not coin) with value 1 Penny or 2 Sous on it.


 Years ago I had a coin with 10 Centimos on one side, and 10 Gramos on the other - and wondered at the time what currency Gramos was - then it occurred to me that Gramos meant Grams in weight.  (8

It's reasonably common, especially with the East Africa/West Africa

But New Zealand also had one.  When we transitioned from pounds sterling to dollars and cents they issued a 10 cent coin with "one shilling" on the bottom of them

I don't have one myself but I'll try and find a pic.......here we are

I have these Lebanese coin with Value in English at one end and in Arabic at the other.

Does this count?

Cinco means 5, so I think it should count, it says 5 twice.

On reverse side, you can find on big lettering English and Hindi. And on the left side, you will get other 15 languages. These are regional languages.

This will be little bit out of topic. But, let me tell you, India is actually Indian Union.
During the period brithish or portugese rulled our country, some state has their own King or Nawabs. After Independence ( tomorrow our 68th Independence day ). Our freedom fighters formed Indian Union and all these states joined it. Some on own wish, few by force. Some of these states get special privilages for joining Indian Union. Like Kashmir still they can use their own flag.
Most of these state has their own language. So, Reserve Bank of India, mention the denomination on regional languages.

Indian coin mention the denomination on two languages Hindi and English.
The place where I live, it's the place of Bengali language. So, illiterate peoples being able to read hardly anything from the coin.
Few years back Indian gov issued a commemorative coins on 150 years of Indian post. The way it was written lots of people thinked, this coin of denomination 150 Paise or 1.5 Rupees. Same coin having two different value.

Here's one from east Africa  1937 50 cents/half shilling



A lot of the East Africa and Uganda coins are like this
I'll upload some but we had a lot of colonies that were bi-lingual so likes of Malayan and Indian etc usually have two values or more
I think there's a difference between having two different values and having the same value written in two different languages as some people have posted.  I'll post another one tonight.  I just got a Papal States coin that has the values "10 soldi" and "50 centesimi" on it

Here's the Papal States coin

The numerical denomination is on both sides! Why?!
Citeer: ALLRED1950Hey neil nice papal states coin , I still dont have any. Iam going to put that on my wish list.
Thanks, I pick them up whenever I find them, unfortunately they don't come up very often.  I've got 4 so far: the 10 soldi I showed already, a 1 lire coin, the 20 baiocchi in the last round of the MPCC was mine https://en.numista.com/forum/topic32223.html and I have this other one which also fits into this category.  Copper 1868 4 soldi/20 centesimi with a chop mark by the date.  It's huge, about the size of a crown

"Zwei Pfenninge" (0.02 Mark) or 180 einen Thaler (1/180 Thaler), issued in Prussia, 1868



During the transition period from Thaler to Mark, many German states have issued this double currency copper coins. They were fractions of a Thaler (non-decimal) and decimal parts of a Mark.

Another elder (1813) Prussian coin: Sechs einen Thaler (1/6th of  a Thaler) or "84 einen feinen Mark". This refers to the master silver weight unit used to determine the weight of the Thaler using a "Thaler footage". By the early 19th century, in most German States, 14 Thaler were produced using 1 feine Mark.

Somebody asked about a coin with more than 2 languages on it.
Many coins from Yugoslavia have 4 languages. They have Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Macedonian.

There is an example

That's simply not true. There was no 'double currency' in Germany during this time. From the currency reform instituted in Prussia in 1821 Thaler was equal to 360 'old' Pfennings struck between 1821 and 1871 (before it was 288 pfennigs) and Mark introduced in 1871 was equal to 100 'new' Pfennigs struck from 1871 on. One Mark was equal to 1/3 Vereinsthaler, therefore 120 old pfennings = 100 new pfennigs.

I do not have pictures at this moment, but also in Tanzania (like Iceland) they put the numeric value and written in words on the coin.
Tano means 5 in Swahili, Kumi = 10, ishirini = 20, hamsini = 50, moja = 1, mia moja = 100, mia mbili = 200, mia mbili na hamsini = 250, elfu = 1000 etc
