In the past and now, I just cannot find any good year conversion charts for chinese and other calendar systems to the gregorian calendar.
Does anyone have any such sheets? The Numisdoc section is of no use, they only have several calendars and no chinese section, and the best the others have are little character charts.

I know they have the dates listed in the coin pages, but I would just love a physical copy, my Krauses are of no help either.
It really depends there are many different Chinese calendars.
If you can't find a list online just make one yourself ... it's very easy in an excel like program.
You just need a date from each calendar you want to link. Or use Wikipedia they sometimes heave such tables.
No idea if it would help, but a member here of many years has his own good website which
has very many calendars on it. From memory I think his name on here is Inscriptor
and the site site is Creounity Time Machine - will see if I can find a link.

I have found alot of that kind of stuff and is no use to me I can't understand Japanese and tell what number year it is to convert to Gregorian.
@ZacUk
Thanks i suppose, I would find that not terribly much more useful than what is already on the numista pages because you just type it in and is not a list (which would be alot easier to make than this big converter, a list would may not be as user friendly but atleast you don't have to log onto the internet if you had a physical copy).
If you don't understand but are interested it should be easy for you to learn something. You don't need to learn a complete language to understand a dozen symbols and maybe the way how to read it (LINK).
To be honest I don't even get why you've asked in the first place if you have no will to expand you knowledge you have the whole internet at you disposal.
Sorry, I don't get some Zoomers .

Google or Wikipedia search will directly bring you to the Georgian year
I don't think a list is helpful, there are thousand of regnal years, it's not possible to browse through the list by eyes to find a match

Peace out.
Well, the thing is the conversion sheet would really help alot to learn it, wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Not everyone learns the same way ya know. I wouldn't collect coins if I didn't like learning.
I do not doubt you could easily use that chart for all your experience with Japanese coins, being the referee for that country.

Most of my coins that I would like to date are no older than 1930's so atleast for me, a list would not at all be bad. It may take a little to find a match, but then I could use the sheet for studying and whatnot.

I recommend Dateconverter.net. I use it to identify dates from coins that originate from counties such as Japan, UAE and Thailand.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

I’ve used this to identify date on many different kinds of coins mostly post 1940s.

If you really want to be a world coin collector, just for your benefit, you should learn some characters from a few foreign calendars, especially Islamic and Chinese/Japanese. You don't have to understand Japanese to do so. The first three characters of the Chinese/Japanes calendar are so easy we only talk about 17 characters you have to learn, several of them also very easy. And you only have to learn them passively, you only have to recognize them, not to write them down by heart. Don't tell me you need weeks to learn to recognize a dozen characters?
