<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 385824, member: 4703&quot;]You have both mostly Japanese coins, but at least one is Chinese - the&nbsp; one on the right in the next to bottom row.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are hundreds of Japanese coins and thousands of Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Annamese of the same general style, cast for more than a millenium.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really sure whether you have the obverse/reverse of each coin side by side or top to bottom, and in order to identify them I would really need to know which pairs of pictures go together.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ones with a pattern referred to as &quot;waves&quot; are definitely Japanese and the one I mentioned has Manchu characters which ID it clearly as Chinese, but I don&#039;t have my reference books handy right now so I can&#039;t tell you much more until I find out which pictures go together, and have access to my books tomorrow late afternoon or evening.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW some of your pictures are upside down, or laying on their side, making it harder to read the characters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
