    I have found 4 Japanese coins in my random foreign coin collection and haven't been able to translate the dates. There is a 5 yen and three 10 yen coins. If you can translate the dates for me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

    It also works for Meiji, Taisho and Heisei for 1870-present coverage, but isn't it simpler to just mentally add the coin's year to 67 for Meiji, 11 for Taisho, 25 for Showa and 88 for Heisei?
