I bought a 1914 (Taisho 3) silver 1-yen coin! A coin that embodies history and the weight of silver 🇯🇵✨
Today, I finally purchased a 1914 (Taisho 3) silver 1-yen coin for ¥13,000!

This coin was issued in the early Taisho period and has a striking presence, measuring 38.6mm in diameter, weighing 27.22g, and containing 90% silver. The striking dragon design on the obverse and the laurel leaf design topped by the Imperial Chrysanthemum crest on the reverse make it a true masterpiece of modern Japanese currency.

✨ This coin's appealing features:

🐉 Dynamic dragon design – A design symbolizing the imperial family and strength

🏯 Over 100 years of history – Issued in 1914, it has a deep historical context

💰 Generous silver content – With over 24g of pure silver, it offers solid value

🤝 The seller was also satisfied – "I'm happy it's going to someone who will cherish it," he said, happily parting with it.

It was a mutually satisfying transaction, and I'm very impressed. I'll treasure this coin and add it to my collection, carrying on the seller's wishes.

Next, I'd like to display it alongside silver coins from the Meiji era and enjoy the changes that have taken place over the years. 📚✨
