Hello,
would sure appreciate if someone could help out here.
Recently was given these coins and have close to no idea what they are. I guess a few , if not all, are from Japan.
what I am looking for is the denominations and years.
Images show one side marked A-I and the other side also marked A-I. have no idea which the obverse and reverse is. Maybe I have them all mixed up.

Thank you to all who chime in.

    A: Japan 1 sen Showa 11 or 1936
    B: Japan 1 sen Taisho 12 or 1923
    E: Japan 1/2 sen Meiji 19 or 1886
    F: Japan 10 yen Showa 29 or 1954 (should have the reeded edge)
    G: Japan 10 yen Showa 60 or 1985 (smooth edge)
    H: Japan 5 yen Showa 23 or 1949


    The reeded edge 10 yen looks to have the most shot at something more than a nominal value.


    edited to add: C looks to me to be a Manchuoku (?sp)/Manchurian occupied territory coins, 1 fen.

  • D and I are Taiwanese 1 Yuan coins, Republic Years 49 (1960) and 70 (1981) respectively.

    Stork nailed the others.

    Yup H is a 24--the 1949 is right...either I was typing too fast or I forgot my glasses...I have bifocals now. Sigh.

    The Manchukuo piece is dated 1938.
