Kubota Domain — 1862-1864 50 + 100 Mon

Just returned from a coin show, where I picked up a provincial 100 Mon piece to complete a set of two!

These coins were casted in the Kubota Domain, which was under control of the Satake Clan. The production took place between 1862 and 1864 at the Kagoyama Refinery, which was located in the now-defunct town of Ani.

The coins are made of copper-coated lead and are of a crude manufacture. I’m very happy to have them both and am now looking for a Nami-sen to finish my set of non-silver Akita provincial pieces.

North Vietnam - 20 Xu 1945

Just got the last coin in my North Vietnamese circulation set, the 20 Xu piece, dated 1945. From what little I know of these, 250,000 were minted using low quality aluminum and machinery.

I’m not sure if these were actually minted in 1945 or if they were minted from February 1946 to Summer 1946 with the other North Vietnamese coins, the date commemorating the August Revolution.
