Interesting fact
Did you know that the Pattern 10 Yen coin was designed by a Japanese artist named Taro Okamoto? Okamoto was a renowned sculptor and artist who was known for his modernist style and his works often featured abstract and geometric shapes. The Pattern 10 Yen coin features a unique design that showcases Okamoto's artistic style, with a stylized chrysanthemum flower on the obverse and a plain edge on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1954 as a trial piece and was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
