Manchukuo coins have been somewhat underrated and prices have been steadily on the rise. Thankfully I've completed the set a while back but it still doesn't stop me from looking out for something interesting or different. Krause mentions that there is a variety for the 5 fen coin. I was skeptical until I went through a fair number of them to find it. This is a normal 5 fen coin of the same year (1936 5 fen) The next one is described as a wide rim - which should look quite obvious Now I would like to present a normal 1933 5 fen. (This is somewhat very underrated) And this is one that I found recently. If you look at the reverse, it seems that the rims are a lot narrower to any of the examples shown earlier. I personally think this is a new variety however have not seen any other examples yet. What do you think?

In the case of the first two coins, I think difference is the width of the inner security design of the edge, these rectangular geometric figures. If you look at the distance between the dragon and the figures, there is more space in the first one. But I do not see a so clear difference between the last two coins. Report this Post to the Staff
