Description from the seller
JAPAN. 1 Sen. 1934. Hirohito (1926–1989)
- Denomination: 1 Sen.
- Reign: Hirohito (1926–1989).
- Year: 1934.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: 一錢. Reverse: 大日本 · 昭和九年.
- Grade: MS64 BN (NGC).
A 1 Sen coin from the early Shōwa period, with a restrained yet elegant design characteristic of 20th-century Japanese coinage. The obverse features the value “一錢” within a central field surrounded by stylized vegetal ornamentation, while the reverse displays a symmetrical heraldic-floral motif accompanied by the imperial legend and the date in the Shōwa era. The example retains an attractive, even brown tone (BN), with original luster well preserved in protected areas, sharp relief, and clean fields, showing only light contact marks consistent with its high grade. It represents a typical pre-World War II circulation coin, reflecting the aesthetic and discipline of Japanese coin design of the period.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make absolutely clear that I ship from Spain. This means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or to a location within the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example, the Canary Islands), it may be held by your local customs authorities, who may ask you to pay taxes. This is a legal customs procedure and is completely beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding.
