<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evom777, post: 1043657, member: 27123&quot;]@Idhair.....The first piece You have is a copper Japanese 100 Mon. (1835-1870) The front reads &#039;tem po tsu ho&#039;. (from the Tempo era, 1830-44) and &#039;tsuho&#039; which means coin or circulating treasure. The reverse reads &#039;to hyaku&#039;, which means &#039;worth 100&#039;. (worth 100 Japanese coins, as Japan`s currency was known as Mon)&nbsp;&nbsp; This coin was a transistional piece from the Shogun empire to the Meiji restoration. Your first pic of the front is correct, but the second showing the reverse is upside down. (Japanese has to be the most difficult language on the planet)&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen this coin for sale ranging from $17-25.50. (depending on condition) Ironically this is the only foreign coin I own....It was a gift from a friend, and I have always liked it and found the history of it interesting as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
