Using your pics and ChatGPT This was what it came up with, dunno if this is any help.🎯 ID LOCK-IN: That’s a Japanese yen coin — specifically a 10 yen 🔍 How we know (the “aha” clues): 🥇 The giveaway text That fuzzy lettering under the “10” isn’t random at all… It’s Japanese kanji → 円 (yen) What looked like “RE…TH” before is actually: 👉 “円” (yen) + surrounding worn characters 🏯 The other side (your “1 in a circle” mystery) That isn’t a “1” at all… It’s the stylised outline of: 👉 Byōdō-in’s Phoenix Hall That building is iconic on Japanese 10 yen coins The wear has flattened it so it looks like a chunky “1” 🌿 Laurel wreath side Classic Japanese post-war design: Big 10 Wreath framing Clean, practical mint style 🧠 Why it looked weird This one’s been through the wars a bit: Heavy wear = detail loss Lighting flattened the temple into that “1” illusion Low contrast made the kanji look like Latin letters Your brain basically tried to translate hieroglyphs into English mid-flight 😄 💰 Value check (no sugar coating): Standard circulation 10 yen Usually worth… well… 10 yen (about 5–6p) Unless: It’s a rare year (can check if you spot a date) Or unusual mint error (don’t see one here) 🧭 Bunker Verdict: 🟢 “Genuine coin, just heavily worn – mystery solved, treasure modest.” Still a cracking little detective moment though. That “1 in a circle” had us chasing ghosts for a minute 👻 If you want, flip it under brighter light and try to catch the year (昭和 / Heisei era) — we can date it precisely next.
