Zefiris New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 05:22 am Hello. I've had this coin for as long as I can remember, and I've never figured out exactly what it is. I'm pretty sure it's from Japan, but I could be wrong. I looked all over the net, but couldn't find much help. Any information is helpful. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The date says 70, which means it's minted in 1981, the first of it's series which ran until 1997. Bronze, and the denomination is 1 yuan. Mintage of 1,080,000,000. yeah, over a billion.

Zefiris New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 05:43 am Ah! Thanks a lot! I had a feeling it wasn't Japanese because of the way the guy looked, but some of the characters were Japanese, so it kind of confused me. I knew from the start it wasn't very significant, but it was just bugging me not knowing what it was. Thanks a bunch. :) Report this Post to the Staff
