5 Yen - 2014??

Hi I got this coin about 2 hours ago, I do believe it is the 2014 but my japanese sucks..



Cheers

it's the 26th year of the last Emperor. He started in 1989.
So 1989+26-1=2014.
You are right.

Thank you Alex.

It's been a while since they issued 5 yen for circulation, nice to see the "charm" in use

Hi KennyG

I know you are one of the most active "japanese??" user in Numista.

Do you mind if I send you a PM asking you about some info of Japanese coins mainly about modern - in circulation coins.

Regards

By the way your Japanese is not so bad, for out of two sides you chosen the right one for the picture.
