Dieter3 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Likey 1920s, late Taisho. So I'm guessing these are also made by the Japan Mint - with the kanji, "hei" as in zou-hei-kyoku. Never even thought about it before. Any concurence on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) So I'm guessing these are also made by the Japan Mint - with the kanji, "hei" as in zou-hei-kyoku. Never even thought about it before. Any concurence on this? Yep, some other kanji's also can be interpreted as official mint marks. For example kanji 大 could be interpreted as mark of Osaka mint. And hiragana "hi" in this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/56238-7th-class-of-rising-sun-order-with-interesting-and-pretty-rare-mark/ as mark of Hiroshima mint.
