| Additional information |
The Reiwa era began on May 1, 2019, when Emperor Naruhito ascended the Paulownia Throne following his father Akihito's abdication — the first voluntary imperial abdication in Japan in over two centuries. The 10 yen coin continued without redesign across the era transition, a deliberate continuity that reflects the Mint's long-standing policy of maintaining the post-1959 design indefinitely for this denomination.
The bronze alloy specification shifted slightly across this series as global copper pricing pressured production costs — a quiet adjustment the Mint made without public announcement.
