    I just imaged 108 world coins I got in bulk, and I don't know what these 2 are, or where they're from.

    Japanese coins are relatively easy to identify as Japanese - look for that one character that looks like a box with a horizontal line through it (ri4).

    Second one is indeed a 10 sen, Showa 15 = 1940 They kept making the wartime aluminum 10 sen thinner and lighter as the war went on.

    Only 2 are the same year. They are:
    L: Showa 16 (1941) 1.5 g
    C: Showa 16 (1941) 1.2 g
    R: Showa 18 (1943) 1.0 g
    1.5 g was made 1940-41, 1.2 g from 1941-43 and 1.0 g for 1943 only.
    After that they were tin-zinc in 1944, some ceramic ones were briefly issued in 1945, and they aluminum again postwar in 1945-46.
