Another coin i need help with

I appreciate the help on a couple of coins this week, but I have found another that I can't identify. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Not much help but it is written in Chinese.
It says "Year 49" and "Tsubo Bank" but the tsubo is a Japanese reading so it is most likely different.

Oh and the second photograph is upside down

 

Yep, the bottom pic is definitely upside down. I'd suggest this is Japanese, Showa 49 (1974).

Try to get in touch with gxseries and/or hontonai to confirm.

 

This coin is not Japanese. It is a yuan from Taiwan (Y#536) and the year is indeed 49 (since the installation of the Chinese Republic), which corresponds with 1960.

 

Thanks. :thumb: That's why I was struggling with this and unable to find an example amongst Japanese coin guides.

 

Awesome help. I'm very ignorant on Japanese symbols and looked through both China and Japan catalogs - never thought about Taiwan but have found it now. Thanks a bunch.
