Message:: [QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 572951, member: 17919"]OK, looking at the illustrations on p.12 in my own 2008 JNDA catalog, it seems that the characters for "ji" and "nen" both differ slightly from the coin illustrated in the catalog. From what I can tell, the bottom part of the "sansui" radical in "ji" is oriented a little differently, and the "kuchi" part of "ji" seems to be at a slightly different angle. Also, if the "nana" is "koki" (Type 3, late version), then the upper two horizontal lines in "nen" should be of equal length on the right side, but in the coin pictured at the top of this thread, the lower line appears to be longer than the upper line.[/QUOTE]
