## Description
Guaranteed authentic. I am auctioning a collection of silver coins that I have been gathering over time.

## Collector note
This collection of silver coins represents a rare glimpse into Japan’s numismatic history, appealing to collectors who value authenticity and the narrative behind each piece. Unlike typical modern collectibles, these coins from a private collection may include vintage items with historical significance, making them highly sought after by both numismatists and those interested in Japan's heritage. Given the current market trends, the starting bid of ¥500 offers a compelling entry point for collectors looking to invest in tangible historical artifacts. The provenance and storage conditions further enhance their allure, ensuring that these coins retain their authenticity and value over time.
