Coin number 4 is 1880's-1890's Japenese.

I hate to disagree with you Coinman, but the 4th coin is a 10 yen from no later than the 50s, or at least the design was from as far back as 1951. Most likely it's from the 90s.

The third coin is a Tunisian dinar from 1988. The second coin is an Iranian 50 Rials from 1992.

I believe the Tunisian coin (#3) is actually dated 1983.
Good ID on the country 'coinsareawesome' !!

coinsareawesome is correct. The japanese 10 yen is the first year of Heisei (1989). There were 666,308,000 issued. Value is 10 yen or about a dime.

Coin #4: Japan 10 yen 1994 (yr6)

Sorry to split hairs here Mack but take a closer look at your attachment and compare to the OP's coin.
Its Heisei 1, 1989.

Dave,
Nothing to be sorry about; we're both seeking the same thing; an accurate attribution of the OP's coin.
I see your point; and have no idea why Home - Edelweiss Coins - Your online coin and paper money store would call it a 1994 when your source is calling it a 1989.
Perhaps the coin was issued in the 6th year of the emperor's reign, which may coincide with the 1994 date (six years after 1989).

Are they calling the original posters coin a Heisei 6 ( 1994)?
Your link above shows a Heisei 6 coin.
If the original posters coin were a Heisei 6 coin, it would be the exact coin that is seen in your Edelweiss link (attached below).

It also would have been issued in the 6th year of the current Emperor`s reign.
It would also have the Kanji for 6 (六) just left of the kanji for year (年).
The original poster's coin has none of these features.

The Kanji on the original posters coin is GAN 元, which translates as ORIGIN in English. This Kanji is used on all 1st year reigns, ie. showa 1, Heisei 1, Meishi 1, Taisho 1, etc, etc.

Here are a couple of links regarding the disputed kanji (6) and (origin):
Origin (元) http://www.manythings.org/kanji/d/5143.htm


6 (六) http://www.manythings.org/kanji/d/516d.htm

The OP`s coin is Heisei 1 / 1989 (The 1st year of the current Emperor' reign).
