    I've been trying to ID this coin which I thought was Japanese, but I couldn't find a match. I did a Google image search and the top match is a Wikipedia page for a Chinese coin called a Yongle Tongbao from the early 1400s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yongle_Tongbao

    However, another match goes a Numista page for a Japanese 1 mon from 1587-1608.

    Both coins pictured look identical to me. So which is it?
