Catalog number not assigned without precise date. | Estimated Y-61 (Shōwa 15–18, 1940–1943) based on: aluminum composition and ~22 mm size; no hole; designs with chrysanthemum on one side and large cherry blossom on the other; these match the aluminum wartime type, not the earlier aluminum‑bronze holed type Y‑58. Exact Shōwa year is unreadable, so the specific Y‑61.x variety by weight (1.5 g = Y‑61.1 for 1940–41; 1.2 g = Y‑61.2 for 1941–43; 1.0 g = Y‑61.3 for 1943) cannot be confirmed from the photo and approximate weight alone. Note: standard references list this type with a reeded edge; if your specimen appears plain, it may be wear or lighting.
