Interesting fact
The 1 Sen coin from Japan's Shōwa period (1927-1938) made of bronze has an interesting feature. The coin's design includes a unique combination of Japanese and Western elements. On one side, it features the imperial chrysanthemum, a symbol of the Japanese emperor, surrounded by a wreath of cherry blossoms, which is a traditional Japanese motif. On the other side, it bears the image of a Phoenix, which is a mythical creature commonly associated with good fortune and prosperity in Western culture. This blend of East and West represents the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during Japan's modernization period.
