What has me a bit puzzled is that symbol to the left of the plus sign. It is not the symbol for 3 or 4 (which would have made this 1938 or 39) I've seen those coins and I know this is not them. so this 'has to be' the symbol for 5 in some sort of style that I've not seen. so I'm hoping some japan experts can shed some light.Value listed in Krause is $1.25 for VF, $2.25 for XF Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 9:14 pm Don't anyone DARE call me an expert, but the "plus" sign is kanji for 10, and, yes, that's a 5 to the left of it (top photo). This coin was minted only in Showa reign years 13-15, so this one is from 1940. (p. 305, "Modern World Coins", 14th edition). Report this Post to the Staff
