crownman Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 3:44 pm I attended my first coin show today in Auburn, MA and after browsing the 45 tables knew I had to add this guy to my collection...an AU 1896 Japanese Yen. There really weren't that many people offering large silver dollars/crowns except for Morgans and Peace dollars of course! Report this Post to the Staff

damynke New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 10:55 pm Nice looking coin. How do you identify the date? I just picked one up in a lot the other day and have no idea how to date it. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 11:18 pm It uses Japanese numerals. Yours is the equivalent of Year 2 10 3, which becomes 23. I couldn't tell you the era, though. Report this Post to the Staff
damynke New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 11:26 pm Perfect! Using the characters that you point out it is a Meiji Period 1890. Much appreciated. Crownman- Do you know much about the Chinese Provincial silver dollars? I'm looking for help identifying one I have posted here. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 11/05/2013 04:08 am The era is Meiji. The only year this design was used in any other era was year 3 (Taisho era). Report this Post to the Staff
