Summary

Description
English: I am not sure about this coin below. It is a privately minted counterfeit version of the Nagasaki Genpou coin. Whether it is made in Japan or in Annam is something I do not know. It is thin like the Annam floater type (see Annam page) but the metal content is like the Nagasaki coins. It is 22mm in diameter and only about .6 mm in thickness-- a bit smaller than all of the ones above, but I have enlarged the picture to bring out the details of this sloppy coin. The characters seem to have been recut from a Nagasaki coin but they may have been carved from scratch on a new mother coin. The fact that the coin is smaller suggests that the mother coin for this was the same size as a circulating Nagasaki genpou. At any rate, the casting skill was poor so they do not appear clearly. Note also the uneven shape of the central hole. The extensive wear on the coin shows that obvious counterfeit or not it circulated well.
