Photograph inscriptions before judging the surface
Year forms: Capture Meiji Year 29 and 1896 with surrounding characters at equal scale, then add a second angle wherever relief is weak.
One Yen: Keep the denomination, nearby devices and rim in one uncropped frame. Another one-yen issue cannot complete a missing stroke.
Safe cross-checks: An ordered edge series and carefully obtained measurements may test consistency, but they cannot provide the unnamed ruler, mint or motif.
Three checks before comparison
- Date and value: Confirm the dated inscriptions and denomination on both complete faces before moving to enlarged character details.
- Surface continuity: Use colour-balanced and raking-light photographs to reveal toning, hairlines, contact marks and previous cleaning without polishing.
- Loose material: Keep any label, envelope or box separate and treat its connection as conditional unless identifiers or other evidence support it.
Japanese coin photography resources
Review Foreign Silver Coins with Junk Dollar, French Indochina Piastre and British Trade Dollar Records. Borrow the imaging method only; no date, value, ruler or motif may move between coins.
Preserve the coin between light angles
Hold a loose piece by the edge over a soft, dry support. Keep a certified holder closed, avoid dips or abrasives and retain the first natural-colour image.
