Japan Greater Japan Imperial Government Note 1 Yen 1878 (ND 1881) Pick 17 PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. An iconic design, this type is rarely seen in any grade and widely collected. At the time of cataloging, only 62 examples have been graded by PMG, and of those, only two are in Uncirculated grade. This prized example was once mounted in an album, but otherwise displays far better than average for a 19th century type. The three highest denominations of this series, the 1, 5, and 10 Yen feature the portrait of Empress Jingu. Most pleasing and very rare in this elite grade. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/japan-greater-japan-imperial-government-note-1-yen-1878-nd-1881-pick-17-pmg-choice-uncirculated-63/a/4023-28169.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4023 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
