Japan Bank of Japan 5 Yen ND (1886) Pick 23 PMG About Uncirculated 55. While the 1 Yen is occasionally seen, this 5 Yen denomination is much scarcer. This example is simply outstanding. It is the single finest graded example in the PMG Population Report at the time of cataloging. In the 1885 series, this is the only denomination where the portrait of Daikoku is portrayed on the back. Banknotes of this series were designed by Italian engraver Eduardo Chiossone. They are the first series issued after the Bank of Japan was founded in 1882. Very rare and stunning in this grade. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/japan-bank-of-japan-5-yen-nd-1886-pick-23-pmg-about-uncirculated-55/a/4025-28451.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4025 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
