Richard117 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have a variety of old Chinese coins, and I can ID the bronze ones, but this one I can't find. I'm assuming it is copper, obviously struck not cast. Can anyone help? Thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well, it's claiming to be a 1 Sen from 1916 Japan. Obverse is showing Dai Nippon (Great Japan) across the top and Year 5 Taisho across the bottom (1916). The reverse is sideways. It says 1 Sen. If you properly flipped this coin for the photos and the reverse is in fact sideways, that's a nice rotation! FYI, the coin should be bronze and is the "key" date for that short series.

Vincent Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I don't want to disappoint you, but it is from the 9th year of the Taisho era (1912-26), thus 1920. Very decorative coin, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
