Correct. We make it less-easy on purpose in order to prevent something like this.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 11:27 am I am pretty sure the Showa year started in 1926 rather than 1927, so that would be where the error is. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 4:57 pm The Japanese use "Gen" (start/beginning) to indicate the incomplete "Year 1" of a new emperor's reign. I think Showa became emperor on Dec 26, 1926 (and minting was done for the year at that point), so year 2 started in 1927, when he had been emperor for about a week. Report this Post to the Staff

I was recently doing a project with Japanese coins from 1927, and there were only a few values minted in year 2, and none in year 1, as there was no time with only 6 days left!!
