I will repeat what I wrote.</p><p><br /></p><p>The top coin on the left is known as a Tenpo Tsuho was cast during Japan&#039;s Edo Period (1603 - 1868). The coin you are showing is possibly from Mito which is in present day Ibaraki Prefecture.&nbsp; It appears to be a later date issue.&nbsp; I would have to see the reverse to be certain.</p><p><br /></p><p>The oval coin immediately below it is known as Chikuzen Tsuho.&nbsp; It is an imitation of the Tenpo Tsuho.&nbsp; It was likely cast in Hakata on the island of Kyushu.&nbsp; The Kuroda clan made these coins in 1862.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly the four coins to the right are known as Hoei or Kanei Tusho. I would have the see the reverse to be certain of its background. If you flip the coin over you may notice additional Chinese like characters, concentric waves, blank or even a dot.&nbsp; The information would denote the province, time period and possibly clan that produced the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again I hope this information is not repetitive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
