Owner Comments:
This particular Silver Yen was minted during the reign of the Taisho Emporer, 1912-1926. As with the Meiji Emporer, the name Taisho was not the family name and instead translated to Great Righteousness. Mental and physical disabilities kept him out of the spotlight, this Silver Yen represents the last year of Silver Dollar sized Yen..
