Hello.
I ask if any person can validate the pole marks (gokuin) on the images here. Based on the "jyou" character (also shown) and absence of side filing marks the piece is a Japanese Meiwa Ko-Nanryo Gin. Size, weight and density seem about right. But the pole marks seem large. I have a Shin-Nanryo Gin and the pole marks are much smaller, as seen on other Japanese square coinage such as Ichibu. There are 10 pole marks on the four edges/sides, all as those pictured below. When judging size, please note the thickness is 2.5mm.
Details
Height 25.5mm
Width 15.3mm
Thickness 2.5mm
Weight 10.16gm
Density 10.72 gm/cm3
Any comments would be helpful.
