<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 735300, member: 5580&quot;]This coin can still circulate, so the intrinsic value is 10 yen or about 0.11 US$.</p><p>In Krause the value of this coin (with mintage 123,100,000 for Showa 30 or 1955) is 0.20 $ in VF, 0.35 $ in XF.</p><p><br /></p><p>Japanese coins bear only the year of reign of the reigning emperor, not the AD year. The reign of Hirohito is called the Showa Era, the reign of Akihito is the Heisei Era.</p><p><br /></p><p>Somewhere in the 1960&#039;s Japan began to show the year of reign in western numerals on the coins of denominations 50 yen and higher (but only following the reign era&#039;s, not in AD-years). The year on the lower denominations (1,5 and 10 yen) still is in Japanese numerals.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">hontonai gave you more accurate information while I was typing</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
