<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 3606161, member: 57121&quot;]The Japanese Mint just announced that the new &quot;Reiwa&quot; 500 and 100 Yen coins have been issued this past week. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Japan Times also stated that the mint also began production on last Thursday (July12th) of ¥10,000 and ¥500 coins commemorating Emperor Naruhito’s ascension. </p><p><br /></p><p>The ¥10,000 coin, made of 20 grams of pure gold, features a phoenix</p><p>symbolizing the imperial family on one side and the imperial chrysanthemum seal on the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Priced at ¥140,555 (approximately USD 1,300 @ USD 1 = JPY108). Orders will be accepted online or by mail until July 31.&nbsp; These coins will be tough to find subsequently. (I do not have a picture at this writing)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A 2019 500 yen bi-metallic commemorative - 30th Anniversary of Enthronement of Heisei is difficult to find even in Japan (for the moment).&nbsp; I was recently there (March and April 2019) and even circulating coins like the one were not easily available.&nbsp; However a quick glance of E-bay shows offerings at around USD 10-12.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
