<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 3709040, member: 81887"]The top piece (round hole, inscriptions on both sides) is not a coin, it is some sort of token or amulet. The bottom coin is a 1 mon from Japan, "Kanei Tsuho", issued 1626-1769. There are a lot of varieties of these, many of which can be dated more precisely, but telling them apart depends on very subtle details of how the characters are written that I have trouble figuring out. Assuming I'm not missing some rare variety, it's a very common coin, worth maybe $1. Still a cool little piece. Hopefully someone can help with the first piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
