Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Yen coin was designed by Japanese artist and engraver, Shōwa, and features a unique security edge that was patented by the Japanese Mint. The edge features a series of interlocking rings that create a distinctive tactile sensation when the coin is rotated. This innovative feature was intended to prevent counterfeiting and make the coin easily identifiable as authentic.
