<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2528282, member: 81887&quot;]Glad to help!&nbsp; Your initial guess of China was very reasonable, since older coins of Japan (and also Korea, Vietnam, and a few other places) used Chinese characters and had the format of Chinese coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The best website I know of is the Zeno site (not sure if it&#039;s against board rules to post a link here), but you do have to know a fair bit about the subject to figure out how to use that site effectively.&nbsp; Basically, if you already know how to identify the coin, you can use Zeno to identify the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; There are a number of books on the subject, too.&nbsp; If you have just a few coins, your best bet is probably to post clear photos of them here- I (and many more knowledgeable specialists here) would be happy to try the identification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
