JNDA 01-48. The Paulownia sen was minted non-continuously from Taisho 5 through Showa 13. The obverse features the issuing authority (Dai Nippon or Great Japan) with the paulownia leaf and the date below. The reverse has the denomination and a stylized scrolling design.
S13 (1938) is an unusual year as this was the first of three differing 1 sen designs.
