When I was there all I ate was Grouper fish I couldn't get enough of it.

a Spanish one from 1953: 2 pesetas and 50 cents. it's not a 1:1 macro as the coin, with its diameter of 25mm, is bigger than my APS-C sensor.

Japan 5 Yen 1949 to Date

These are modern Japanese 5 yen coins. The rice stalk and gear are distinguishing patterns. Dating these coins can be a challenge for Westerners. Earlier coins come from the Showa (Hirohito) dynasty, which starts counting years in 1925, and later from the current Heisei (Akihito) dynasty, which starts counting in 1988. So, for instance, Heisei 1 is 1989.

The coin in photo comes from the 33rd year of the Showa dynasty, or 1925 + 33 = 1958, making it 63 years old

the 5 yen coin is one denomination of the Japanese yen and were first struck in gold for the Japanese government in 1870 at the San Fransico Mint

the current design was first minted in 1959 using Japanese characters known as the "new Script", and were also minted from 1948 to 1958 using "old Script" Japanese characters

five-yen coins date to 1870 (when, due to the much higher value of the yen, they were minted in gold ~ the modern-day coin was first produced in 1948 with a differently styled inscription and this was changed in 1959 and the design has remained unchanged since

having 35 of these coins isn't gonna make me rich as each is only worth £0.01840

so, i'll keep it in the store room for my next generation - hoot ! hoot !
