<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 385922, member: 4703&quot;]If it is ~26mm, I would agree.&nbsp; I&#039;m not expert enough to see through the corrosion on the bottom character and determine which of the six varieties it would be.&nbsp; I can only exclude one of them.&nbsp; However, if it is ~29mm, it&#039;s a Shin-Kaneisen, minted in 1769, and the most common of the three &quot;wave&quot; reverse coins from that year.&nbsp; In any event, the obverse needs to be rotated 90º left, and the reverse is upside down.</p><p>The usual Romaji (roman letters) spelling for the legend is &quot;Kanei Tsuho&quot;&nbsp; The obverse (lower picture) is upside down.&nbsp; Of the 16 cataloged varieties, differentiated by subtle differences in the calligraphy, I can only exclude the three most valuable ones based on the picture.</p><p>Yup.&nbsp; Both sides are correctly oriented.</p><p>My comments on the first coin generally also apply to these.&nbsp; The right side coin pictures are correctly oriented.&nbsp; On the left the reverse must be rotated 90º left, and the obverse must be rotated 90º right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course when discussing this style of coin &quot;minting&quot; means sand casting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
