Overview

A round, holed coin featuring the Imperial Chrysanthemum Seal at the top, the Paulownia crest below the central hole, and Japanese characters for the denomination 'Ten Sen'.

Historical significance

This coin was issued during the early Showa era under Emperor Hirohito. Nickel was used for these coins until the increasing military demands of the Second Sino-Japanese War led to the transition toward cheaper base metals like aluminum and bronze.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $10.00 USD (depending on condition and specific year)

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or flip to prevent 'green slime' corrosion. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this significantly reduces numismatic value.
