Interesting fact

Did you know that the Pattern 10 Yen coin was never officially released into circulation? Instead, it was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin to test the design and production process. Despite its limited availability, the Pattern 10 Yen coin has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, particularly those interested in Japanese coins.
