matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 09:54 am Based upon nothing more than the inscriptions: top: Japan middle: Korea bottom: China (People's Republic) I'll toss this off to the next member! {I'm not just a coin collector -- I also like languages.} Report this Post to the Staff
GerrodH Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 10:01 am The first coin with the hole in the center is a Japanese 5 yen coin. It was minted between 1959 and 1989 and is made of brass. The second coin is a South Korean 10 Won coin. The last coin is 1 Fen. Chinese. 1 Fen coins were discontinued after 2000. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 11:31 am This coin is read from left to right So, "Showa" "5" "10" "4" "Year" stands for year 54. Report this Post to the Staff
