The Imperial Standard: Japan's Premier 10,000 Yen Note
Elevate your collection with this museum-quality 10,000 Yen note, the prestigious "Series C" issue that defined Japanese prosperity during the mid-20th century. Known for its impressive size and intricate multi-colored engraving, this note honors one of Japan's most influential historical figures in a design that remains a benchmark for security printing.
Historic & Design Highlights:
-
Obverse (Front): Features a dignified portrait of Prince Shotoku (574–622 AD), the semi-legendary regent and politician of the Asuka period who authored the Seventeen-article constitution. He is shown in traditional court attire holding a shaku (ritual baton).
-
Reverse (Back): Showcases a stunning, symmetrical engraving of two Phoenixes (Ho-oh) facing the Yumedono (Hall of Dreams) at Horyu-ji Temple. The phoenix is a traditional symbol of high virtue and the imperial household.
-
Double Letter Prefix: This specific note features the Double Letter Serial Number Prefix (GC...N), a detail highly tracked by Japanese specialty collectors to identify specific printing phases at the Bank of Japan.
-
Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ): The Superb Gem 67 grade signifies nearly perfect centering and flawless paper. The EPQ designation guarantees that the note has zero chemical or physical alterations, preserving the original "intaglio" embossed feel of the ink.
