Description
The coin in the photos is the one you will receive. None Finer in the world, this coin is very reflective and lustrous of an MS coin; you can see how its color changes, somewhat like a proof almost, depending on how the light hits it.Heisei 31 marks the final year of the reign of Emperor Akihito, the son of Hirohito. On April 30
th
, 2019, The Emperor abdicated (for the first time in over 200 years) in favor of his son, then Crown-Prince Naruhito. On May 1
st
, the Reiwa era began, and
all Heisei coinage from 2019 had been produced – exclusively in mint or proof sets.
Heisei 31 mint sets were sold out at a mintage of 300,000 in Japan by early 2019.
The demand for more was so high that a public lottery was held.
This means that for the first time, the mintage of every single denomination will be the exact same.
This affects the 10 yen and 100 yen coins the most. To sum it up, this will likely be there rarest 100 yen coin, by about a factor of 10 to 20 compared to the next-rarest.
