Description:: In 1871 new currency regulations were proclaimed. These regulations revised the unit of currency that had been used up to that time, making 1 ryo equal to 1 yen and 100 mon equal to 1 sen.
With this change, the face value of the stamps was revised. The 48 mon stamp became the half-sen stamp, the 100 mon stamp became the 1 sen stamp, the 200 mon stamp became the 2 sen stamp and the 500 mon stamp became the 5 sen stamp. The design of the stamps remained the same as on the Dragon mon stamp and for the first time perforations appeared. Some of the stamps had glue.
