Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Yen - Shōwa (Reeded edge) 26-33 (1951-1958) coin from Japan is that it features a unique reeded edge, which was designed to prevent counterfeiting. The reeding on the edge of the coin was created by a special process that involved pressing the edge of the coin against a textured surface, resulting in a series of small grooves that are difficult to replicate. This feature, combined with the coin's bronze composition and relatively low weight, made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce convincing copies of the coin.
