Well, the date is correct for a 1-year issue; but other than that it doesn't match the pictures in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn. Catalog for JNDA#18-10. On your coin the flower in the middle of the 5-circle design at 12:00 on the reverse seems to be much larger than the picture in the JNDA catalog, and the obverse is completely different. Where you have a dragon holding a pearl, reminiscent of the Japanese Meiji silver yen of that vintage, the JNDA picture has a phoenix with outspread wings, topped by a crown.
Perhaps you think of another coin.This is protektariat Japanese and the dragon is the same as the Japanese silver yen.
It does exist Hontonai. You are looking at the wrong coin. Should be looking at JNDA 16-4.
