It's 100 yen, not sen.

Mintage is 110,000,000.

gxseries, yes you are correct. My mistake. I am still new to all this. :-)

mmorgan22, I paid about two dollars for it so it is all good. I knew it was silver and I was pretty sure it was Japanese because of the two semesters I failed of Japanese. I am glad I bought it in person. I was looking at it on ebay the other night and I was under the impression it was a much larger coin. :-/
