Need Help With This Oriental Coin

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

I am pretty sure this was a souvenir brought back from WWII. Any help would be appreciated. HH Richard

Japanese 10 Shen looks close

 

[Explorer.se]

look like it was holed?

Very interesting. What detector found it for you?

 

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

Deus 2 Detector... Thanks for info... Japanese shen is what I thought.. original coin had a hole.. some don't. Again, Thanks Richard

What VDI? I'm guessing in the 80's.

Don't think it was minted with the hole, looks drilled to hang around the neck. Cool find!

laplander was right about the country and denomination.... Explorer.se and SeabeeRon were right about the hole drilled in the coin...

Looks like a Washington State tax token only written in Japanese…… well, it does!

I thought it was an old Colorado or Oklahoma one when I first looked through the fog of age at it.
