Found some old coins in a pill bottle that used to belong to my grandmother's second husband. Most are from Europe in 1944-45 though there were two coins from the 20's and another two from the 70's. I was able to identify all but these three Asian coins:

Identify-3-Asian-Coins-Please

Identify-3-Asian-Coins-Please

Identify-3-Asian-Coins-Please

Identify-3-Asian-Coins-Please

Identify-3-Asian-Coins-Please

Any help with the country of origin and year would be appreciated.

I'm not good at reading the inscriptions, but I'm sure all 3 are Japan.
1. Krause Y #63 5 Sen, possibly 1944?
2. Y #61 10 Sen, from the 40s.
3, Y #50 50 Sen, poss. 1936?

That's a start--you'll a get more accurate ID soon.

Agreed that these are WWII era Japanese issues. Too bad my Krause doesn't have as nice examples or as clear pictures, nuts.
