1/2 Sen Y#16.1 / 16.2 [opgelost]

Hi Everyone

Recently I got a couple of old japanese coins and I am stuck getting identification in some of them.

I have this coin https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15169.html

How you can spot the difference between the 16.1 and the 16.2 year 1877

Thanks in Advance.

Dan.

Y#16.1: Square scales on dragon's body

Thank you, that was quick!

I will have to spend some money on books to help me identify these coins...

By the way I ended with 2 of the 16.2, I was expecting to have one of each :(

Great job bbuybugs.

This distinction should be mentioned on the coin page too so nobody has to wonder anymore what's the difference between Y#16.1 and Y#16.2
