My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 07/03/2021 5:44 pm Can someone please help me identify what year this coin is? I know it is Japanese 5 yen and that is about it. I tried to do some research but the symbols don't match up with anything I have been able to find. I think it may be 19?8 but I really don't know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Particularly good as a donation when visiting a temple.
