Yours says 明治四十一年 which means "Meiji 41", which is 1908
The kanji are reversed on your coin because at the time the writing system was right to left. It has flipped since then, so I can't type out that way easily.
The one in the other says 大正六年 which means "Taisho 6", which is 1917. Again, the kanji is reversed on the coin.
So it is the same coin, just a different year than promised. The late Meiji coins had the same silver content, so there is no real difference unless you are collecting for dates.
Well, it's just a little older than advertised, I still like the coin and are mostly happy that it doesn't turn out to be a real fake. It's just slightly different than I thought. It turns out to be a little difficult to figure out what is what so I learned but man I still hope to find some other Japanese coins because I saw some really pretty ones.
If you happen to have any for sale, please please let me know !LOL
The Taisho coins might be a little more rare. Hmm.. I'm not sure offhand. I'd have to dig out my notes.
If I ever am looking to unload some of my Japanese coins, you'll be the first to know 😃
Some nice lessons above, thank you so much! !LUV
And if you ever do, please let me know, as I'm intrigued by these coins..
