The name “Jen” comes from the Japanese word “round”, which obviously refers to the shape of coins. As a currency, Jen appeared on the wave of reforms to change feudal Japan into a modern country modeled on the European country. The new currency has replaced many other existing in local lanes. The Bank of Japan, established in 1882, stood up for its values.
Initially, Jen was associated with gold and you could get 1.5 grams of gold for Jen, but in 1931 the authorities withdrew from this parity. The next one was introduced after the Second World War, when in 1949 Jen was associated with the dollar, and for one dollar you could get 360 yen.
