This currency was issued from 1922 (Taisho 11) due to revisions in the Currency Act.
Affected by the post-World War I recession, and in step with the sharp decline in international commodity prices, the continuously rising silver price began to stabilize in the 1910s (Taisho era). Consequently, the amount of silver in silver coins was further reduced in this revision.
The design for the silver coins established at this time was adopted, with slight modifications to the obverse design (characters still in clerical script), except for the Yatagarasu on the reverse of the Yatagarasu silver coin and the Roman alphabet notation.
It was manufactured for many years until 1938 (Showa 13) and was affectionately known as "Giza" (reeded) during its circulation, becoming one of the coins deeply ingrained in the minds of the Japanese people at the time.---Recycled materials may be used for packaging.
