Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 07/09/2019 01:24 am That's a Japanese 10 yen. Made of bronze I think. Minted from 1951-1989 I think. I also reckon that it's worth about .25 cents. There are a couple minted in the 50s and early 60s that are worth a good premium, but I'm rusty on how to figure out the years. Edit: I'm about 95% positive yours is a 1966 Edited by Redifin 07/09/2019 01:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

The coin is dated to the 41st year of the Showa emperor (also known as Hirohito), which would be AD 1966. And yes, still legal tender in Japan; the 10 yen coin of today still has the same design and specifications - it's one of the world's last remaining circulating solid bronze coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
