I just received 2 Japanese mon with the same letterings, which seem to be the 1st variety (C#1.1) as there is no reverse lettering. However they have major dimension variations:
  • the small one is 2.57g - 23mm


  • the big one is 3.86g - 26mm


Is there an explanation for such variations?

Because they are not struck by machine. They are cast in coin moulds, which leads to variations

Is that really a simple cast variation?

You're free to answer but I'll consider this one as solved
