Collector Commentary
Meiji 38 (1905) one-yen Dragon Yen coins represent a pivotal era in Japanese numismatic history, marking the tail end of the classical Dragon design series before later recoinage. Circulation-grade specimens with documented measurements and natural patina are increasingly difficult to source as hoards diminish; well-preserved examples show strong collector demand in the domestic Japanese market, particularly from Okachimachi coin dealers who specialize in Meiji-era silver authentication. This piece's intact edge serrations and documented weight/diameter data provide verifiable provenance, though natural toning and minor handling marks are expected for coins now 120 years old and should be evaluated against comparable Meiji late-period pieces rather than modern mint standards.
