Japan
Meiji Yen Year 19 (1886) AU55 NGC, KM-YA25.3. Type II. Reduced Size (38.1mm) issue. A scarcer, earlier date from this reduced-size series with sparkling argent surfaces, a limited amount of friction across the raised features, and mild evidence of handling noted in the fields. Very much collectible, even when encountered in this lightly-circulated quality.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
