2020年4月17日 · I believe the 1 yen silver was made for a single year in the Taisho Era (Year 3 = 1914) and then discontinued until after WW2. Japan experienced significant inflation in the early 1900s, and then runaway inflation plus debasement during the war. By 1948, 1 yen was a small brass base-metal coin worth about 1/360 of a dollar.

2011年4月24日 · Any silver 1-yen coin dated 1871, 1872 or 1873 (Meiji 4, 5, 6) is probably fake. Any Japanese silver coin dated 1872 is probably fake. All Japanese minor silver coins (50-, 20-, and 10-sen) were minted in 1873. Why 1873? Probably the same reason why there are fake 1864 Seated Liberty dollars that have CC mintmarks and In God We Trust.

2018年2月11日 · The silver 1 yen coin has more history than what one would have thought. I only learned it quite recently. In 1897, the silver 1 yen coin is demonetized and is no longer legal tender when Japan adopted the gold standard. The most likely reason is because of the Sino-Japan war as it would have drained Japan's finance drastically.

2017年2月22日 · Does this 1882 Japanese Yen silver coin look authentic to you? I'm trying to find sources to compare various die markers with, but mostly it's just been comparing images online to what I see on my coin. So, I'm hoping that someone more well-versed than I take a look at this Japanese silver coin for a verdict. The edge reeding appears similar.

2017年1月8日 · I have got a Meiji Era 1 Yen silver coin purchased on a Taiwan Flea market. The coin is non-magnetic and has a weight of 26.6g. I guess it might be a fake because there are so many around. Just want to make sure. Thanks, Frank
