Owner Comments:
JNDA 01-47. After a 10 year hiatus the 1 sen denomination returned with a rising sun obverse and a rice stalk wreath+denomination reverse. The content shifted from copper to a bronze alloy while otherwise retaining size and weight of the preceding sen coin. The coins were minted in both the Meiji and Taisho eras.
This slot is the Meiji version of the coin, which was minted from M31(1898) - M35 (1902).
Diameter is 27.87 mm, bronze, weight 7.13 grams.
