The Japan Mint started issuing these 10 Japanese Yen coins in 1951. They are currently still in circulation. The Japanese bronze-brown-colored coin of 10 yen has a diameter of 23.5mm and weighs 4.5g. It features a temple and bay laurel leaves.​

10 yen from Japan it is. The depicted building is "Phoenix Hall", the main temple of the Byodoin monastery in Uji, south of Kyoto.

I believe that is a Japanese 10 Yen coin.

Edited: they beat me to it.

The date is given in Japanese on the reverse. I believe it's 1989.
