[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 1310864, member: 4703"]Well, the date is correct for a 1-year issue; but other than that it doesn't match the pictures in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn.

On your coin the flower in the middle of the 5-circle design at 12:00 on the reverse seems to be much larger than the picture in the JNDA catalog, and the obverse is completely different.
