The 10,000 yen coin is a denomination of the
Japanese yen , and is only used for the issue of commemorative coins struck by the
Japan Mint . 10,000 yen coins were first issued in the mid/late 1980s in
silver but were later switched to
gold . These non consecutive commemorative gold coins have been released ever since to collectors.
History
The first 10,000 yen coin was minted in 1986 as a silver commemorative to mark the 60th year of the enthronement of the
Shōwa
Emperor ,
Hirohito . Gold has been used to strike these coins in
proof only format since 1997 when they were first issued for the
1998 Winter Olympics in
Nagano . The weight and size of each coin varies by commemorative as both 15.6g (26mm) and 20.0g (28 - 35mm) have been used.
