Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Sen coin was designed by the Japanese government in 1946 as a potential new design for the 10 sen coin, which was widely used in Japan at the time. However, the design was ultimately not adopted, and only a small number of pattern coins were produced. As a result, the Pattern 10 Sen - Shōwa (Brass Pattern) 21 (1946) is now a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
