This NGC MS62 Tsukubakai One Yen Silver Coin from the Meiji 3 Year (1870) boasts a dragon design that holds significant historical value as it represents the inception of modern Japanese currency.

Its rarity—exemplified by an existence rate below 8.5%—makes it particularly sought after among collectors eager to acquire early numismatic artifacts from Japan.

The coin’s pristine condition, certified by NGC, adds to its desirability, as high-grade examples are seldom available in today’s market, further reinforcing its appeal within dedicated numismatic communities.
