context_page_description: The 10 yen coin is one denomination of the Japanese yen.
  The obverse of the coin depicts the Phoenix Hall of Byōdō-in, a Buddhist temple in Uji, Kyoto prefecture, with the kanji for "Japan" and "Ten Yen". The reverse shows the numerals "10" and the date of issue in kanji surrounded by bay laurel leaves.
context_section_description: The following are circulation dates which cover Emperor Hirohito's reign. The dates below correspond with the 26th to the 64th year (last) of his reign. All ten yen coins that were made before 1959 have reeded edges, this has since changed to the present day smooth edge. Coins for this period will all begin with the Japanese symbol 昭和 (Shōwa).
  Japanese coins are read with a left to right format:
  "Emperors name" → "Number representing year of reign" → "Year" (Ex: 昭和 → 三十四 → 年).
