   Today in history, the Meiji Restoration of Japan commenced in 1869. This led to enormous social, political and industrial changes, rapidly modernising the country. I wrote a little about this in my piece on the 1918 Japan 5 Rin which was minted shortly after the end of the Meiji period: https://coinofnote.com/1918-japan-5-rin/
