    Yes 50 sen, Taisho year 15 (1926)

    Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3

    I love that coin. Last silver 50 sen and chock full of symbolism--very apropos for the era. The ho-oo bird (double this time male/female), the Imperial Chrysanthemum crest, the government seal/emblem Paulownia leaf, the Sunburst, the Sacred Mirror and a couple of cherry blossoms to top it off.

    Thank you for your help. I much appreciate it.
    unfortunately my Japanese language knowledge is limited to "Kirin Beer".
