EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of early 20th century Japan with this postcard, showcasing an intriguing comparison of the national currency and its equivalent values in various international currencies. The postcard, dated circa 1900, is adorned with the flags of Japan and several other countries, each bearing their unique emblems - from the bold red and white stripes of the Japanese flag, emblazoned with a crest featuring a dragon, to the rich hues and symbolic designs of other nations' banners. The heart of this postcard lies in its financial and monetary information. Japan's currency, the Yen, is depicted alongside its subunits, the Sen. The Yen, which was introduced in 1871, was initially based on a gold standard, while the Sen was a copper coin worth one-hundredth of a Yen. The postcard offers an enlightening comparison of the Yen and Sen with other currencies, including the British Pound, the US Dollar, the French Franc, and the German Mark. These currencies were also represented by their respective flags and coins, adding a rich visual element to the comparison. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the international monetary system of the early 1900s, providing a unique perspective on the exchange rates and financial relationships between different countries. It offers a captivating blend of history, finance, and visual appeal, making it an intriguing collectible for enthusiasts of both currency and world history.
