While most coins are read right-to-left, some need to be read left-to-right (counter-clockwise).
The symbol for year (年) is always at the end of the date, so if you see it at the left-hand end of a number, read it from right-to-left; if you see it at the right-hand end, read it left-to-right.
As modern coins made of non-precious metal, just about all of these coins carry very low value.
Even fully uncirculated, the values are decent, but not through-the-roof, as follows: ALL DENOMINATIONS, COMMON DATE, 5, 10, 20 AND 50 FEN:worn: less than

Here are what the Standard Catalog lists as better dates.
Values after the dates are for coins in well preserved condition.
The position of a symbol doesn't define its value; its effect on or by its neighbors does. Modern Japanese coins, however, use the Japanese era calendar to indicate when a coin was minted.
More examples of Japanese numbers: 32: 三十二 44: 四十四 78: 七十八 99: 九十九 Japanese Dates In the late 1800s, Japan adopted the Gregorian calendar, but with a starting date (a "year zero") that corresponded to the Gregorian calendar's year 660 BC, making Japan's year values larger than the year used by other countries (i.e. An era starts counting years at 1 with each new Japanese emperor.

Taiwan coins will of course not have one of the 4 Japanese emperor era names listed above, and frequently have the flower symbol shown here.The date is indicated by the emperor's era name (using its Kanji symbols) followed by the year of the emperor's reign.For example, 1989 was the first year for the current Heisei era (under Emperor Kinjo, or Akihito), so coins minted that year would contain the symbol for the Heisei era (平成) and the symbol for 1 (一). It begins with the symbols for the era name (see the list above), followed by the era year, and ends with the symbol for year (年).Instead, Japanese uses combinations of numerals which add and/or multiply to the number being written.
For example, 11 is not written 一一 (1 1) - it is 十一 (10 1, or 10 1). 20 is 二十 (2 10, or 2 * 10), and 22 is 二十二 (2 10 2, or 2 * 10 2).
Japanese uses a number-writing system that is shared with the Chinese language, and is generally referred to as the Chinese numerals.
