<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 536006, member: 4703&quot;]The bottom character on the rectangular coin does appear to be a Chinese/Japanese character, but there is nothing remotely similar in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn. catalog.&nbsp; Both the Chinese and Japanese spade and knife coins were metallic, not wood, so it&#039;s probably a charm or token rather than a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>None of the others look the least bit Japanese, and all but the large round one with a palm tree are probably Indian princely state coins/charms/tokens.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure I&#039;ve seen something like that tree on a North African/Arabian country&#039;s coinage, but a look at the other side of that one is essential to IDing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
