CoinOfNote , 16 days ago to Japan I haven't posted much in awhile, so here's a random #coin on my desk. Iron 1 Mon coin from #Japan. Minted in the 1700-1800s. I think this might be the "Ku" or 久 reverse mark type (above hole on the reverse). If so, minted 1768 - 1772. TBH, it's hard to tell. Many of these which are about aren't in much better shape. The one on Numista is similar: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces142546.html Here are other 1 Mon iron coins: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=japan_section&r=&ct=coin&im1=&im2=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tt=y&tp=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=3&no=&v=1+mon&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=13&f=&t=&w=&mt=&g=&se=&d= #Numismatics #Cash #OldCoin #Histodons @numismatics @histodons Mintmark Ku above the hole.
