<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3645373, member: 15588&quot;]These 1 Rin coins had a monetary value of only 1/1000th of a Yen. Not surprisingly, they measure only 15.75mm across (still slightly larger than a US three cent silver piece). They remain the smallest denomination of modern (i.e., Meiji and after) Japanese coinage. This one happily retained some of its yummy copper luster, so I grabbed it. NGC graded it MS 64 RB.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse:</p><p>明治七年 - Seventh year of the reign of Emperor Meiji or 1874</p><p>大日本 - &quot;Great Japan&quot;</p><p>Reverse:</p><p>一厘 - One Rin</p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/OneRin_M7_1874Obv.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/OneRin_M7_1874Rev.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
