JAPAN. Yen, Year 45 (1912). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-67.
KM-Y-A25.3; JNDA-01-10A; JC-09-10-2. The premier example of a Mutsuhito Yen, with this specimen housed in an old NGC "soapbox" holder being the finest example of the 1912 Yen ever certified by PCGS or NGC, sitting alone at the MS-67 level. A stunning cacophony of colors in the form of rainbow toning covers this superb Gem, with hues of crimson, seafoam green, and steel blue evident throughout; meanwhile, cartwheel iridescence radiates off this extreme conditional RARITY.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
