JAPAN. 20 Sen, Year 9 (1876). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-66.
KM-Y-24; JNDA-01-21; JC-09-21. Type II (characters in "mei" not connected/short ribbons). A truly gorgeous and eye-popping Gem, this minor--slabbed in an old NGC holder--is simply a fantastic 20 Sen and would almost certainly be designated prooflike if encapsulated today. With reflective fields and rich frosting on the dragon, along with waves of amber and lilac toning hugging the rims, this specimen is undoubtedly a cut above that which is generally encountered.
Estimate: $200 - $300
