Bought a group of coins today from the 1920-1945 period
Looks like a 20 Sen from Japan... Weight abt. 5 Grams...
Krause only shows 50 sen size???
Info would be appreciated...
Thanks! Larry

PS 4.95 grams of .720 silver and 23.5 mm diameter in my JDNA catalog. Not a rarity, with a mintage over 44 million and a 2000 yen value (around $24) in gem condition.
edited to add: an old-but-good link about dating/reading Japanese coins: Lion Coin Link. The right-to-left vs. left-to-right switch happened in 1948/Showa 23. Look for the 'nen' or year marker.
Neat coin!
Thanks! Larry
