Another interesting coin from my tin, this one is 5 Fen but not sure of date ,1933?   3.45g

Presumably Y#3 or 7

Date is K'ang-Teh 3, so 1936.

Thank you Martin,

Y#7 1936  should have Character Yuan for "first if correct, Ruler: K'ang-te

The "yuan" character would make it 1934 (first year of new reign title); your coin has the character for three (3 horizontal strokes), making it 1936.

I was just going by the KM listing which is not always reliable as it gives the Yuan version as 1935/6

I believe that the catalog note excerpted here modifies the line above it, rather than the two lines below it.

Your right, I think I need new reading glasses
