Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 11:10 pm The FM monogram second-from-right in the set of hallmarks indicates it's actually made by the Franklin Mint - presumably in an abortive attempt at penetrating the Japanese market. The "76" stamp at far right would be the date of issue, 1976. Sorry, can't help with the script. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 09/08/2019 05:20 am Thanks to Sap I have found that this is a poem by 9th century Japanese poet Narlhira Ariwara, which translates into English as follows: "I plant this flower for you with all the sincerity that my heart can give. It is a flower that awaits the coming of Autumn. And, even if it should wither and its petals scatter thereafter, The root will live on to bloom in beauty in the years to come - for ever."
