Do you have a source that states that this coin was made in Japan?
Becasue his exemplar doesn't look like a Bita-Sen but also has not the expected quality of a Chinese work.

​Thanks for all information. Yes I really didn't think it could be chinese, as the style and the overall appearance was so similar to japanese coins.
