augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 5:25 pm It's a one sen coin. The two characters on the bottom picture say that.ä¸€eŒ¢ It's also year two of showa, which is 1927. It says, at the bottom of the first picture "year two" and then the name of the emperor, which is showa. å¹´äºŒå'Œæ˜ http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13954.html Also says æœ¬ æ—¥ å¤§ which is japan big, as far as I can tell , but that's from my Chinese, I don't know any Japanese.

This came in a lot with about 25 other Japanese coins but this was the highest grade, might even send to get graded since it appears to be a decent date...
