What you need to know about the currency Japanese Yen
The yen is the official currency of Japan. Its symbol is ¥. It was implemented in 1871, with the arrival of the Meiji government, and replaced the mon, a copper coin from the Tokugawa era. The yen coexisted with the sen and the rin, two other coins, until 1953.
There are only four banknotes of japanese yen: 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000 JPY. On the front, all except the two thousand note represent illustrious people from the country. On the back, there are artistic, literary, and architectural representations of great relevance.
Currently, the coins of japanese yen are 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 JPY. Both the 5 and 50 yen coins have a hole in the centre. All are made with a variable percentage of five minerals present in the country: aluminium, copper, zinc, nickel, and tin.
In fact, the word "yen" is pronounced "en" in Japanese, as the sound of the Greek i does not exist in this language. However, we have retained the spelling and pronunciation of this letter due to the influence of Portuguese missionaries who arrived in the country during the Meiji era.
The image on the reverse of the 5000 yen banknote is from the painting "The Flowers of Kakitsubata" by Ōgata Kōrin. This Japanese artist is responsible for the collective imagery created worldwide regarding Japanese art, as he painted flowers, gods, and mythical animals.
