Found this coin yesterday. I found an 1875 Japanese coin earlier this year down the road, so just assuming it's also Japanese. Larbo, where you at?

Definitely Japanese, from the Taisho emperor period. That means it was minted sometime between July 30, 1912, to December 25, 1926. Nice find.
 
Sorry, I just saw this. I haven't been checking in as much recently. It is a 1 sen and the date is Taisho 9 (1920). It's one of the most common old coins I find over here. 1920 and 1921 seem like the most common dates for them too but they are still nice to find.
