Japan S48 10 yen rev DSLR.jpg

This ten yen was issued for the emperor Hirohito and was struck years 34-64 (1959-89). Billions were made and the type is worthless in all grades except for the proofs of 1987-88. It is still being issued today under Naruhito's name altho its purchasing power is insignificant (10 yen = US$0.06 as of July 2024).

Recorded mintage: 1,345,000,000.

Specification: 4.5 g, bronze, 23.5 mm diameter, plain edge.

Catalog reference: KM Y73a.
