How to read dates on Japanese coins

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

We can be sure that any yen coins with Showa 1 or Showa 64 year would be high in value. Both years lasted just 7 days each.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

There are no Showa 1 coins minted, but might have test coins, and 64 are fairly common.

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

@@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes For Showa 1, understandable. The year lasted only 7 days and must be a mourning period in Japan anyway. But for Showa 64, did they keep producing the coins until some times after Hirohito has died?

[@JasonLautzenheiser]

Good video. I knew at one point how to figure out the year, but have gotten lazy and forgot....I've got a box full of japanese, korean, chinese, arabic and other coins I need to attribute at some point.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Thank you mate. The first three are easy, Arabic coins, you need to learn some of the script.

[@SuperCrazyDiscoKangaroo9001]

In Japan, keep your eyes out for Heisei 12-14, 22-25 and 28 One Yen coins as they are a lower mintage.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

I rarely got any Heisei 1 yen coins when I went there. But thank you for letting everyone know.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

5 yen 18-24 are low mintage, 50 en 12-26 low mint, 100 yen years 13-14. So lots to look for in Japan.

[@johnheaney3547]

Thanks for the low mintage dates! I'll have to see if I have any! Any other dates I should look out for?

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

In the Showa, only the 50 yen of 60-62 are low mintage, all the other coin denominations had high mintages.

Hi

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Great work, i'll certainly be referring back to this video.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Thanks, I will do a video with the correct Heisei dates.

[@troodon1096]

Correction to the video: First year of the Showa era was 1926, not 1925. (1926 was also the 15th year of the Taisho era.)

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Thank you for the correction.

[@johnheaney3547]

Fantastic video! I have lots of Japanese coins, I visited there in april. I'll have to go through them now I know how!🤘🤙

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

I got the Heisei coins wrong. Need to fix that up. Thanks mate.

[@rgrmsalazar4569]

sir mag kano Japanese coins 10 yen 3pcs

[@ranaksaxena3300]

thank you, helped me get the date on my Japanese coin. On the 50 yen, it was written 45. so that is 1971 right?

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

45 would be 1970.

[@ranaksaxena3300]

Thank you

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

Think it as an ordinal number. So, the count starts from 1, not 0. 1926 was Showa 1 not Showa 0.

[@looikokweng8767]

Brother, the correct date is MENG CHEE is 1867, SHOWA is 1918 and HEI SEI is 1988..please don't mistaken anymore TQ

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Showa became Emporor in 1926 and Hei Sei in 1989. Don't do it again.

[@sovietww2radiooperator141]

Well you posted early!

Oh daylight savings time, posts an hour earlier.

[@MatrixArmyOfficial]

I don’t understand how it works, is anyone here that knows how to read this and can contact me on Instagram?

[@yueehanabi6405]

there is a date converter on facebook

[@eevonlee3180]

I have a question, why half yen coin not in Japanese currency ?

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

1 Yen is equal to 1 cent Australian, so a half yen would be worthless, even in the 1950s it had little value.

[@troodon1096]

It was quite some time ago, but at modern conversion rates there's no point in minting anything smaller than 1 yen. It used to be that 100 sen = 1 yen but coins denominated less than 1 yen haven't been minted since 1948. 1948 (Showa 23) is the last year a 50 sen coin was minted, which was half of 1 yen.

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

The Japanese currency has been low in value for a long time. In 1949, the rate for 1 US dollar was fixed at 360 yen. The highest rate for yen was 80-something in 1995. So, there was no need to have coins under 1 yen.

[@sushishogun2486]

I used to Collect Japanese Coins and I have one 1 yen paper money from 1950s .but I do not have a 500 yen coin.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Oh an inflation banknote. The 500 yen is regular usage in Japan.
