<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1879601, member: 17919"]In other words, a fantasy piece is a "coin" that often resembles a genuine coin, but its date and/or other features are wrong. Your coin is fake, because no genuine one-yen silver coin was minted in Japan in 1869 (Meiji 2), and the first one-yen coin that was minted, one year later, only had Japanese script. The Western alphabet script was added to the coin later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
