Japan
Meiji Yen Year 3 (1870) MS65 NGC, KM-Y5.1, JNDA 1-9. Type 1. Exceptional technical quality for the date with eye-appeal that is similarly elite, featuring dramatic patina that radiates from the centers and imparts orange-gold, mauve and blue hues over both sides. A undeniable gem in all regards, and worthy of a strong bid as such.
