Bought this beauty a while ago but it also vexes me as when I compare another Silver Yen against it, the features are slightly different.

The 2nd image is a close up of another Silver Yen.

Anyone can advise ?

My impression is that the top picture is not genuine. It is common to spot a fake in a photo with the 4 and the 6 and the Y and E. You can go to places like V-Coins and acsearch and find similar coins. Click on the pictures and use Control + and compare your numbers and letters to what you find.
