1887-1912 Japanese 1 Yen silver:




This is the "small type" variation, with typical width of 38.0-38.1mm and thickness of 2.7mm, 26.96g weight.
Fakes tend to have the right weight and width but are thicker, get a digital caliper to measure that.

The earlier "large type" variation are slightly wider and thinner, but the difference is very slight, same weight.
