First image is front of coin, second image is back of coin. I thought it was the typical 100 Mon coin, but there are 2 extra kanji on the back and I haven't seen a picture of a coin exactly like this one anywhere. I got these to give as gifts and want to write little info cards to go with them... does anyone know exactly what these coins are? Denomination, when they were likely minted, possibly resale value? Any other interesting info would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Your coin appears to be a 50 mon (1835-70).See this link:-

Thank you so much, I'm so impressed you found it! Not knowing much about coins myself, I was unable to find anything on these coins. Again, thank you!
