Chrysanthemum 10 Sen from Japan

Japan 10 Sent

A beautiful 10 Sen from Japan. 0.7200 silver. Japanese dates on coins start with the era 明治 (Meiji) 1867 – 1912 and then 4 x 10 + 5 shown reading clockwise looking towards the centre of the coin. So this coin is 45th Regnal Year of Emperor Mutsuhito. Or in western calendar 1912. * Thank you http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/Japanese.htm for image and information on dating Japan coins. *  I hope, corrections or confirmations  very welcome 🙂 Thank you NGC for images
