Fake, probably not a true back story - looks like bad and modern Chinese copy of a coin in VG/Fine condition.
Sorry, the Japanese silver yen is heavily faked by Chinese junk coin mills.
Pitting stains near Chrysanthemum, unnatural lustre on coin surface, likely lead or steel fake coin.

Agreed, not genuine.  This is easily the most faked coin in Japanese numismatics. |

Quote: "Fake probably not a true backstory" I would say the backstory is spot on. These fakes were around 50+ years ago while I was living in Taiwan along with Japanese Trade dollars, 1804 dollars & etc. |

Fake. Apart from anything else, the lettering, circle of beads and flames are too thick.
