I had forgotten about this thread.

I think this is the smallest denomination Japan ever produced. If my memory serves me right, 1 Rin equaled 1/100th of a Sen and 1/1000th of a Yen.

Translation:

This commemorative coin, also known as “The King Called”, marks the centenary of King Frederick William III’s appeal “To My People” in Breslau, which lead to the declaration of war against Napoleon’s France. The featured distinctive eagle clutching a snake, symbolizes Prussia’s resistance to France's foreign domination. This motif differs from the standard heraldic eagle and is one of the rare exceptions among the Kaiserreich commemorative coins.
