Both of these coin pages list two year lines, 2003 and 2008. On NGC, however, only one year is listed, 2003, with a special note stating that "The typeface of the date often makes 2003 look like 2008". See here: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/indonesia-200-rupiah-km-66-2003-cuid-1208426-duid-1597076

Although 2003 on this coin does indeed look like 2008, a quick search on eBay or Google for one of these reveals no coins actually dated 2008, only coins which are dated 2003 with the typeface that looks like 2008. The year 2008 seems nonexistent. Therefore, I propose we delete the 2008 year line on both of these coins and put a note as NGC has done indicating that the typeface of the year 2003 may look like 2008.

Best regards,

I agree with you. It would be nice to get Thai coins corrected also. There are several non existent years with dates listed as a question mark or non existing.
