That would depend greatly on the coin itself, the country of origin and the year of minting.

Many coins will have a mintmark somewhere on the coin which might be a very small, difficult to see letter usually indicating the city or mint where the coins was minted. Others might have a very minor alteration to some feature of the design. Older coins often used some form of an icon such as a flower or castle, etc. indicating the mint concerned.
