Collector Commentary

The Meiji Year 3 one-yen silver coin is a significant artifact, representing Japan's transition to modern currency during a pivotal era.

Graded MS62 by NGC, this unused coin's unique '接足貝' design adds to its desirability, particularly since its rarity percentage is below 8.5%.

As the first coin in modern Japanese history, it garners considerable interest from collectors focusing on both historical currency and Japanese antiques.

The excellent condition ensures it stands out in the market, appealing to serious collectors looking for preserved pieces from this transformative period.
