Japan's 50 sen silver coinage of this period was progressively debased as military expenditure consumed an increasing share of the national budget through the 1930s. This .720 fine alloy had already represented a step down from the earlier .800 standard, and the type was discontinued entirely in 1938 when wartime aluminum and base-metal substitutes displaced silver from everyday coinage altogether.
Dies for this series were produced at the Osaka Mint, which had operated under British technical supervision since its founding in 1871 — though by this decade it was entirely self-sufficient in both tooling and assay.
