Japan
Meiji Yen Year 11 (1878) MS62 NGC, KM-YA25.2. A seldom-offered, earlier date with classic cabinet tone that coats the surfaces in gunmetal coloration and darker, graphite patination that drips from the devices. At times, champagne luster manages to peek through the heavy tone, and when it does, the fields brighten considerably and the well-struck design elements are amplified. Visually captivating in all regards and choice in this Mint-State quality.
