Coins

[DW Peters]

I found this:

www.lioncoins.com/nippon1.htm

But am looking for images and info of Japanese coins in period. Anyone have suggestions?

I found this by Googling "History of Japanese Coins."

hubpages.com/hub/History-of-Japanese-Coins
No bibliography or info on the image sources, but it might be a place to start.

However, I also Googled the term "kaiki shoho" mentioned in that article and found THIS!

I have some silver metal clay hanging around and I'd been wondering what to make of it...
Googling wado kaiho shows only images from a single side of the coin, and as the golf and chinese counterparts are blank on the backside, I assume wado kaiho are as well.

Lots of images of old coins
