    I have no idea what may have caused this to turn blue, but it seems to be uncommon amongst Japanese cash. It matches the eleven waves of the reverse perfectly, in my opinion.

    Well this is nearing on 6 hours, so I will put this call out- can any friends here help ID this mystery coin? It's been in my collection for years now and I've never been able to nail down a proper ID for this. I've tried every Numista search possible, sifted through bronze coins, but never found a match. At this point I'd guess it is a token or jeton- simply for a lack of anything else I can find. But I'd love to be proven wrong or even have an idea of who is on this coin. Next: same theme, but expanded to coins not yet ID'd

    This is my only Fallen Horseman coin. I should probably upgrade down the line but there's something charming about this coin. It has every single detail clear to exactly ID it, but hardly anything past that!

    This is a so-called Bull and Horseman jital from the north India // Pakistan // Afghanistan region. Neither the bull nor the horseman are too clear on this (abstract and largely off-flan) unless you are familiar with the type, this flan is awfully small for the die.
