<p>[QUOTE="bart, post: 407517, member: 5580"]On the coin you show you can see on the side with the denomination: 100 YEN / 2 characters meaning "Showa" (= era of Hirohito) / 3 horizontal lines = 3; a cross = 10; 3 horizontal lines = 3 / a character meaning "year". This coin has been struck in the 33rd year of reign of Hirohito (3x10+3 = 33). Showa 33 is 1958.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
