Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Sen coin was designed by the Japanese government in 1933 as part of a series of experimental coins that were never officially released into circulation. The coin features a unique " Without hole rim pattern" design, which sets it apart from other coins of the time. Despite its rarity and historical significance, the coin is still made of nickel, a relatively inexpensive metal, which adds to its intrigue and value among collectors.
