Welshman New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 08:57 am Hi there. I'm new to the site. I have come across 2 coins I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on where they're from? I'm assuming Japanese from the writing on them. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 09:06 am I don't know about the rectangular one but I think the round one is Chinese. The Japanese coins I'm familiar with all have a Chrysanthemum on them. See here: https://kusuyama.jp/blog/culture/ki...japan-symbol Report this Post to the Staff
Welshman New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 10:11 am Thank you. I've tried to translate the symbols but no luck. I'm hoping to find out some more. The rectangular coin is quite weighty Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16846 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 6:12 pm The round one is also a replica of a rare early Vietnamese silver coin, of Annamese emperor Tu Duc. Example on zeno.ru.
