Hi folks , new member going through late mothers property. Have had lots of success identifying things through using the site and help in the banknotes forum also but i cannot find much about these Chinese ? coins.
It would appear as though coin number one is a forgery based on what ive read in some of the forums about the raised dot background, could anybody verify that it is ? For the unenlightened it seems strange such an obvious thing is present on coins , why wouldn't the forgers make them less conspicuous ?
thanks for the help with number three coin , it does look very much one of the coins you linked me too. Your point over number 1 would seem a more logical answer(to me) as to the generation of such items rather than it being for forgery purposes .
Amazing, you guys have an incredible site here and are so fast. Thanks again. im ticking solved just yet if anyone can help with coin two..
Verweis : "Camerinvs"#2 is upside down, and is Japanese. EDIT: Here it is in the catalogue.
Sorry but that identification is not correct. OP's coin is very similar but from another emperor, it's not from Taisho but from Showa (you can see it on the characters after the date): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13954.html

Good catch, Essor Prof! I'm surprised I didn't see this ─ I usually check every character to make sure they're all identical.
