Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Yen coin was designed with a unique security feature - a serrated edge that was intended to prevent counterfeiting. This feature was a first for Japanese coins and was a significant innovation in coin design at the time. The serrated edge was created using a special process that involved cutting grooves into the edge of the coin, which made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins that could pass as genuine. This feature has since become a distinctive characteristic of Japanese coins and has been used in various denominations over the years.
