Is this pendant really an antique Japanese coin?

    I got this in a lot of jewelry. I did not pay the price on the tag. Is it an authentic 100 Mon from the 1800's? I've seen similar in google searches but would like confirmation from the experts here. Is it worth selling as is? As always, thank you for looking and for your advice.

    thank you Any Jewelry That was very helpful. It doesn't appear to be worth much as a coin so putting it in pendant is not an issue. I feel ok selling it as it is with the information you provided. Thank you again.

    I wish everyone safe and happy holidays and a New Year filled with good health, success in their endeavors and complete with laughter and love.

    Yes, it looks nice as a pendant, and it is probably worth more like this. The setting is non-invasive, so if someone wants the coin they can take the wire off.
    I wish the same for you Lizzie.:)
