Interesting fact
The 10 Sen coin from Japan's Shōwa era (1933-1937) made of Nickel is interesting because it was produced during a time of rapid economic growth and industrialization in Japan, and its design reflects the country's shift towards modernization. The coin features an image of a dragon on one side and the Imperial chrysanthemum crest on the other, symbolizing the blending of traditional Japanese culture with modern influences. Additionally, the use of Nickel in the coin's production was a departure from the previous use of copper, reflecting Japan's increasing reliance on industrialization and technology.
