I would have to study mine at home first to have an opinion. I have not seen them worn before. My first thougth would be the shen is a little off, and I am just a little concerned about the quality. Japanese cast coins are usually of superior quality, and I see some defects in the casting of this piece. I am just not sure if its the wear or what.

My vote as of now would to be careful. Where did you acquire the piece?

 

thanks,i bought it through Japan Yahoo Auction,look,it is one of many coins.it is the lower left corner

 

Can you post clear pics of the validation marks on the long sides of the edge?

 

I had initially assumed that this was a temp tsuho piece - but the legends obviously don't match. If I had read the TITLE of the thread, I would never have assumed that! It is actually an amulet that reads "Man Nen Tsu Ho / To Hyaku" (The currency of 10,000 years / Value 100). The original, according to Hartill 7.40, was cast circa AD 1860 and is quite rare. The unusual surfaces and poor calligraphy indicate that this is most likely a reproduction
