<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2127913, member: 4373&quot;]Nice 5 yen coin Krispy. They are getting hard to find these days especially in such nice condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I am aware, the gold coin is genuine as it matches weight and size specification. Bear in mind that this coin is REALLY tiny at 13.5mm so it proved to be difficult to be photographed. </p><p><br /></p><p>The silver koban is not a restrike - it&#039;s a Akita 4 monme 6 bu gin-ban. It matches exactly on the scale and I have seen genuine examples at a coin dealer. There is a larger brother which is one that I missed. </p><p><br /></p><p>If there are any Japanese coins that I want to get my hands on, I might be looking at Japanese error coins or a nice oban. Now that&#039;s going to cost more than an arm and leg. The Dutch Indies colony coins would be nice too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
