Around the World #15

I spotted this coin while cleaning the kitchen. I think a friend who currently lives in this country gave it to me as a gift... Any idea where it's from?

Yesterday's pic was, as most people guessed, representing Ireland :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Probably China or Japan. Cool capture.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

I'm leaning towards Japan. it's a lovey coin Alia.

[June]

I will guess China, but probably wrong! I'm trying to decide what the leaves are called! Nice coin.

[Janet]

I'll be different and go for Singapore or Malaysia :)

[beluga]

China? It is a very beautiful coin and I wonder what the symbols mean.

[Daniel]

Nicely lit. I would have to guess China.

[👑 AnaZad]

I've never seen this coin, but for the symbols written, I say it's Japan.

[Kerri]

Very cool shot

[Katie]

China? I'm not up on my east Asian currency.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great looking coin and I like your angle. I'm guessing China or Japan, too.

[summerfield]

hong kong which is now part of china? or taiwan. nice shot, alia!

[Pyrrhula]

No idea. But it`s a nice capture of the coin

[Henri Russell]

My first thought is Japan.

[Natalie]

As I understand, the spoken language between China and Japan , is very different, but written symbols are very much alike, so either China or Japan.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I am trying to remember from your posts where your friend was visiting from and I can't remember!! But I think it was Japan- and didn't you just go there too? I'm soooo bad with these little details! Lovely coin though.

[Bev]

Nice shot, Alia! I am going to guess Japan based on the symbols on the coin. Very nice angle and POV. Well done :)

[alia_801]

@olivetreeann You're right - I did visit Karen in Japan - but this coin was from a different friend :)

@summerfield Well done! Spot on :)

[Danny Davies]

Like you shot Alia, could be either China or Japan.

[bernadette mcelligott]

I would have said China :(
