Description from the seller
JAPAN. 1 Yen. 1903. Mutsuhito (Meiji) (1867-1912)
- Value: 1 Yen.
- Reign: Mutsuhito (Meiji) (1867-1912).
- Year: 1903.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: 大日本 · 明治三十六年. Reverse: 一圓 · 菊紋.
- Grade: MS63 (GBCA).
Silver 1 Yen coin with a classic Meiji period design. The obverse features a highly dynamic imperial dragon, finely detailed, surrounded by inscriptions in Japanese characters and the indication of the weight and purity of the silver, in a traditional artistic style with high relief and excellent definition of scales and claws. The reverse shows a vegetal crown composed of paulownia and chrysanthemum branches, imperial symbol, framing the face value in characters, with the chrysanthemum emblem at the top. The piece retains a notable silver luster with light contact marks typical of its grade, relatively clean fields and a beginning patina that enhances the reliefs, making it a representative piece of Japanese monetary modernization during the Meiji era.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make absolutely clear that I ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or within the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped by your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
