I'm not sure on anything about this coin that I found in a junk box. It's a little smaller than a quarter and it was worth 10 of something. If any one can tell me the country, denomination, year, or KM number it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It's at least a start.

I've been corrected I didn't find it in a junk box. My friend won it for me in a in a claw machine inside a coin shop. They have coins in plastic bubbles. Mostly junk buffalos, Liberty nickels, and lots of lincoln cents or foreign coins. I look for coins while he tries to win me stuff to keep from getting bored.

I think its 1978 after reading an article on how the Japaanese date their coins.

The date is 昭'四十"年 which is the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Showa (Hirohito). (Unfortunately, the software on this forum does not display certain Chinese characters.)

This would be the year 1970.
