Condition: This Japan 5 Yen coin is professionally slabbed by ICG. The coin exhibits a natural aged patina across its brass surfaces with some localized dark spotting and minor surface marks consistent with a circulated strike.

It features the classic stalk of rice design on the obverse representing agriculture and a gear around the central hole representing industry. Historically, the 5 Yen coin is a staple of Japanese currency, often considered lucky because the name Go-Yen is a homophone for a word meaning good fortune or connection. This is a standard business strike type minted in brass, which contains copper and zinc.
