Hey Sniffer,
I'm trying to figure out that 50 yen coin. Does it read 2006 at the top?
I don't think it's Japanese. Korean maybe?
Could you take a close up of that coin?
I'm curious.

Might come from someone who liked collecting foreign coins.

Thank You Sniffer!
Japan has a lot of modern low mintage coins. For example the 1987 50 yen coin they only minted 775,000 and it lists for about $150.00.
I didn't think i recognized that one. It is Korean. I don't know a thing about Korean coins but I think they are called Won??
You you have a 50 won there as opposed to a 50 yen.
Nice international haul!

it is a 50 won, worth about .05 US
