I concur with the rest: very nice coin and very nice picture! It turned out much better than my own first attempt. Do you care to share your...
The links point to 5 Yen coins (五円) and the JNDA catalog lists Year 33 (昭和三十三年) as 1958, but the coin shown is Year 32 (昭和三十二年) or 1957. In my...
I looked up the exchange rate on one of the many internet sites that exist (and there are many if you never need to know a conversion for just...
Whoa... I would not feel right doing my duty on that... with all of those ladies and presidents and founders ... not to mention bison......
As already said (but I didn't notice at first): Taiwan, 5 Yuan Copper-Nickel KM:552 - there are a few identical to it on VCoins, but with...
