Hi...this is an item I have spent several hours researching, without success. The lack of a reverse image makes that already difficult task quite a bit more challenging, but I've broken my pick on it, and now beg your indulgence in my plight. Any information to illuminate when & where this coin was produced will be most gratefully received, and acknowledged. Thank you, sincerely! wlw
Perfect! Of course I couldn't find it...lookin' in the wrong place. My clue should have been the suiteki, which is certainly Japanese based on known provenance. Thanks, furryfrog, for your spot-on help! wlw
