Japan
Meiji gold 10 Yen Year 4 (1871) MS66+ PCGS, KM-Y12, JDNA-01-2. With border. An outstanding selection, featuring the emblematic Japanese dragon holding the pearl of wisdom within a beaded circle and an equally elaborate reverse design that showcases a sunburst superimposed over a sacred mirror, flanked by military banners. A highly-coveted one-year type--especially in this deluxe quality--with honey-tinged, pristine surfaces that glisten from every angle, enveloping the razor-sharp devices in a bath of glowing luminescence. For reference, in our 2014 New York Signature sale a similar piece graded MS65 by NGC hammered for $20,000. It seems to follow then, that this current offering which asserts a higher technical grade should bring an even stronger premium.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
