Interesting to note, that the coin from 1947 (Post-war, US Occupation) has the number 50 in western numerals, but the older one doesn't.
Devaluation of currency accounts for the slide to 1 yen = 1 US cent.
I have some Japanese silver from the late 50's, 100 Yen coins with .0926 ounces of silver, slightly more than a US dime of the same period, .0723 but less than a quarter at .1808.
