I don&#039;t think that you will find a coin set from that year, I&#039;m not sure that any were even made, though I don&#039;t know 100% for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the JNDA, the only 3 circulating coins produced in that year were:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 Yen <i>Brass</i> (mintage of all years 1958 - 1950: 451 million)</p><p>5 Yen <i>Brass</i> &quot;Chicken Yen&quot; (mintage: 179 million)</p><p>5 Yen <i>Brass</i> Kaisho Lettered (1st year of currently circulating 5 yen coin) (mintage: 111 million)</p><p><br /></p><p>All are fairly common and inexpensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know the answer to which coins were circulating that year, but that was also during the post WWII American Occupation of Japan and I think they issued Occupied bank notes as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
