Help with Chinese Year/Date

I had this coin laying around. Can I get some help with the date/year please.

Sorry.....Japanese! I need sleep!

I think 1893 (Year 26) .800 fine .070 troy $3.00 USD. Pretty beat up.

 

1887, Year 20. Character for 'Two' and then 'Ten' means 'Two Tens', or Twenty.
Coin is actually not so bad. A picture of the reverse would be nice.

 

I think it's Meiji Year 26. It says, from the twelve o'clock to four o'clock positions in this photo (read it right to left, like Arabic): "Meiji, two, ten, six, year".

 

Thanks for the help!

 

If you look it up on Numista.com, they show the original text alongside the translations. Used it to decipher some Japanese coins.

 

Not on this one....I use Numista quite a bit!

Thanks
