Does anyone know something about Manchuko occupation coinage?

Krause (the 30th Ed. of course) lists Y#2 under China, Japanese Puppet States, as being dated either Ta-Tung 3 (1933) or Ta-Tung 4 (1934), but the pictured coin is very clearly dated Ta-Tung 2

All the other coin pictures in that section which have readable dates are dated within the range of the listings. (The example pictured in the JNDA catalog is dated Ta-Tung 3.)

Looking at my 1996 (23rd) edition, it lists the Y#2 as TT2 (1933) & TT3 (1934), with the photo being the TT2.

Same with the 2002 (29th edition). TT2 & TT3.

2004 31 edition Y#2 fen TT3(1933) TT4 (1934) and I can not tell the year of the coin , it appears Ta T'ung but the second character has 3 horizontal lines not two.

Very interesting and confusing. The picture in the 30th is definitely dated Year 2, so they changed pictures for the 31st, but they didn't correct the dates they had screwed up after the 29th.

I wasn't familiar with Ta-Tung dating, but now I've examined the whole section and find that his ruling years are listed as 1932-34, which matches the information about the coin in question in the earlier editions, and the listings for Y#3, his 5 fen coin; as well as matching the info in the JNDA catalog.

Thanks to all for your help, which I received before bidding ended. If I win the coin I'll try posting a picture, although I haven't been successful at photographing my other two occupation coins.
