Owner Comments:
JNDA 01-24. The second design for the 10 sen coin (consistent with the other silver denominations) retains the dragon obverse and changes the reverse to a large character denomination with a crest+wreath design. The 10 sen is dated (non-continuously) from M6 (1873) - M39 (1906), with several years either skipped, produced only for exhibitions, or otherwise with severely restricted mintages.
Diameter 17.57 mm, 0.800 fine silver, weight 2.7 grams.
