We have these coins that my Dad got in Japan in 1945. He was told they were around 450 yrs old. That was 50 yrs ago and now they would be 500? Anybody know any thing about these?? These pictures do not show how do I get them to show??

Not something I know anything about, but will poke about.

It may be a Samurai Silver Bar. Mid 1800's

Check out this site, it maybe 19th century. Scroll down a bit this pic is on the left. Says "Silver Isshu Gin of 1853."

Edit: It looks like our friend Tony beat me to it. Good work.

Thank you Ramitt!

I only posted earlier than you by the skin of my teeth! And it was a lucky ebay hit.
