JAPAN. 5 Yen, Year 45 (1912). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-66.
Fr-52; KM-Y-32; JNDA-01-8; JC-9-8. This wonderful example from the Ministry of Finance hoard (dispersed in 2005) displays a stunning strike and luster, with very little evidence of haymarking. Exceptionally desirable, and contained in the original plastic capsule from the Ministry along with NGC's applied grading.
Estimate: $500 - $750
