Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2944155, member: 10461"]That's unfortunately too broad a question, like "what does one know about books?" or "tell me about cars".  There are too many categories and variables. There are references on counterstamps.  Brunk is a big one, though I personally have no experience with it. And there might indeed be reference material on Japanese counterstamps like you seek, but that's getting into pretty esoteric territory and maybe outside the scope of English-language reference material.  Perhaps [USER=71642]@Stork[/USER], who collects Japanese coins, will know a little about this, but counterstamps and chopmarks and such can be a pretty deep rabbit hole to go down.  I suspect you yourself, [USER=16729]@mlov43[/USER], likely know a lot more about Asian ad Far Eastern coins than I do. In any event, the coin in the OP does not have any kind of merchant marks or counterstamps.  Just hand-engraved love token art. And that at least is a topic I have some familiarity with.[/QUOTE]
