Hello!

I have been 2x2ing and identifying my foreign coin collection lately (with immense help from the worldcoingallery website) but I am stuck on these Asian coins. I've tried looking up coinage from various Asian countries but have not had any luck.

Thank you in advance!

#2 and #3 are from Japan and look like 10 sen and 5 sen from the 1920s or 1930s. Would need closer pics and pics of the reverse to get dates.

#1: Japan, WWII-era 1 sen I believe.

#2: Japan, 10 sen. It's supposed to have the large central hole but not the two smaller ones.

#3: Japan, 5 sen. Same comment as for #2.

#4 and #5: Taiwan 1 dollar, 1960-1980 series.

#6: Nepal, probably a 2 paisa or 5 paisa

#7: not a coin, but a "good luck charm" as blueszone noted.

#8: South Korea 10 won

#9: Same as #2.

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH for all the replies so far!

I Definitely agree that #7 is the exact coin you linked me to. I tried googling to find more information (would like to be able to put in some form of date and value) but had no luck (I'm apparently a terrible googler).

I matched up #3 to the date 1938-40 (thank you blue/morgan)


#4/5 were a pain to grab the date but I think I matched it up to 1960.

#8 matched up perfectly (thank you!)

Using this information, I was able to identify #1 as 1 sen from 1944/45


* #2/#3, I am still having difficulty with. I recognize that it has the middle hole and two extra holes that don't belong there. I checked on http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed /countries/Japan.php through each 5 sen coin three times and can not match it up.

And, any ideas on #6
