    Ok, playing with my cam and I think I found the close-up setting. This one is indeed contest-rules appropriate and owned by me. Let me know what you think!

    Japan, 2 Sen, 1877 to 1884 period (can't date it exactly).

    Love the dragon on this one!

    Amazing coin ! I'm sure that toning is amazing in hand. That's certainly a coin that I would be interested in buying and would go for at auction. Once again dude, very nice !

    I can think of two possible explanations for that:
    • No matter what it claims, that site is nowhere near complete for the 19th Century.
    • Because it is the wrong size (as discussed in your thread about it), your item is almost certainly a fantasy piece, not a coin, despite it's similar appearance to Y#39, an RS127 (1908) Siamese silver baht.

    I've chosen the winners which wasn't an easy thing to do. First place goes to lincolnhoardr with his beautiful 10 cent coin from the Netherlands Antilles. I've never seen so much detail on a modern circulating coin. If only all coins were this nice!

    And second place goes to Daboz with his amazing Mouton d'Or gold coin. It is beautiful, and was tough to choose between the above coin and this coin for first place.
