Great turnout for the first day, all! Currently, Spence is in the lead! Spence - 4 Dorado - 3 MontCollector - 3 Bd251 - 3 Pepactonius - 3 (Love that one!) Numisma - 3 Canadian Coins - 3 Jbuck - 1 Surely there are some 4 mon coins lurking out there!  @Spence, your coin has "Bun" on the reverse, and is the earliest of the New Kanei coins. I'd have to bust out my copy of Hartill, but I believe the date range is narrower, and a specific mintage is known for the type.

The date range is 1668 to 1700 AD and it is attributed as Hartill 25.51

  Well, since @Finn235 practically begged us, here is a 4 Mon. I didn't check the type.
