ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 12:10 am Ah, not swans, but Phoenix, I believe. :) Coin is a ten yen piece, Emperor Showa, Year 10 of his reign. Since he began his reign in 1926, this coin would have been minted for 1936. At least, that's what I figured out. I've been known to be wrong. ;) Report this Post to the Staff
augbauer Pillar of the Community Philippines 606 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 12:28 am I was only guessing it as swans as I really didn't know what it is. Thank you, Madam for your expert and sincere help. Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3832 Posts	Posted 12/18/2007 02:26 am Not quite right, it's a 50 sen piece and Showa 10 actually corresponds to 1935 instead of 1936. I'm working on a type set but I have been a bummer http://www.gxseries.com/numis/japan...e_modern.htm As always, use this calculator http://www.gxseries.com/numis/asian...asian_yr.htm My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.
