I see that. ...well, now anyway. Yes, that WAS surprising to me.
There's an American artist who's using South Korean 10 Won coins to make portraits: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The artist wrote about his work : "My...
If you like the coppers, check out the 2 Sen coins from this same era: Chunky, funky thick copper coins. Really cool lookin' in VF or higher.
I think it says Meiji 31, which according to your Krause info, is 1898. You read it from right to left. On your second pic, look at the 12...
