[Historical background]
In 1914, as the Second World War broke out, Japan entered World War I with the Anglo-Japanese Alliance as its backdrop. Domestically, the era was changing from the Meiji to the Taisho era, and this was also a time when the nation was rapidly modernizing.
This 1 yen silver coin is truly a symbol of the era. The dragon design on the front is a traditional design adopted on silver coins from the Meiji era onwards, and is considered a symbol of strength, courage, and national prestige. The "1 yen" character and paulownia and chrysanthemum designs on the back are important motifs that represent the legitimacy of the nation and the imperial system.
Coins from this period were in actual circulation and well-preserved examples are extremely rare.
