Error 1 Yen Showa Hirohito 1965 JAPAN (522D)

Description: Error: Lamination Peels are caused by impurities in the composition of the planchet when the coin is struck. The 1-yen coin is the smallest denomination of the Japanese yen currency. The first Japanese one-yen coins were made of both silver and gold in the early 1870s. Japanese coinage was reformed in 1948 with the issue of a brass one-yen coin.The current aluminium coin was first introduced in 1955 with a floral design. The obverse has a young tree, intended to symbolize the healthy growth of Japan. The reverse side of the coin has a figure "1" in a circle that represents one yen; below the digit is the year of issue which is written in kanji. The one yen coin remains the oldest modern denomination coin with an unchanged design; throughout its minting history the coin was fully halted only once in 1968 due to excessive production.Hirohito, posthumously honored as, Emperor Shōwa (1901 – 1989), was the 124th emperor of Japan, ruling from 25 December 1926 until his death in 1989. Hirohito and his wife, Nagako, had two sons and five daughters; he was succeeded by his fifth child and eldest son, Akihito. By 1979, Hirohito was the only monarch in the world with the title "Emperor". He was the longest-reigning historical Japanese emperor and one of the longest-reigning monarchs in the world.Hirohito was the head of state under the Meiji Constitution during Japan's imperial expansion, militarization, and involvement in World War II. Japan waged a war across Asia in the 1930s and 40s in the name of Hirohito, who was revered as a god. After Japan's surrender, he was not prosecuted for war crimes, as General Douglas MacArthur thought that an ostensibly cooperative emperor would help establish a peaceful Allied occupation, and help the U.S. achieve their postwar objectives. His role during the war remains controversial. On 1 January 1946, under pressure from the Allies, the Emperor formally renounced his divinity. The Constitution of Japan of 1947 declared the Emperor to be a mere "symbol of the State ... deriving his position from the will of the people in whom resides sovereign power."In Japan, the emperor is never referred to by his given name; reigning emperors are known only as "the Emperor". Hirohito is now referred to in Japanese by his posthumous name, Shōwa, which is the name of the era coinciding with his reign.OBVERSE: Sprouting young tree in center, authority on top, value and denomination on bottomLettering: 日本国一円Translation: State of Japan 1 yenREVERSE: Big value within two inner circles, date belowLettering: 1 昭和四十年Translation: 1 Year 40 of ShowaEDGE: SmoothMint: Japan Mint, the Independent Administrative Institution HiroshimaMintage in 40 (1965) 1 743 256 000Country Japan Emperor Hirohito (1926-1989)Type Standard circulation coinYears 30-64 (1955-1989)Calendar Japanese - Shōwa eraValue 1 YenYear 1965Currency Yen (since 1871)Composition 100% AluminiumWeight 1 gDiameter 20 mmThickness 1.2 mmShape RoundOrientation Medal alignment ↑↑References Y# 74, JNDA# 02-13, Schön# 48
