| Obverse description | Central solar disc rendered with finely engraved vertical reed lines filling the circular field, surrounded by radiating sunbeams of alternating lengths extending to the coin's rim. The denomination character 厘 (Rin) is prominently inscribed in the left field in bold Chinese-style calligraphy, with the numeral 一 (one) above it. The overall design presents an archaic, stylized Japanese Rising Sun motif characteristic of early Meiji-era pattern coinage. |
