Step back into nineties Japan with this original set of 16 vintage Pokemon metal battle coins. Released in the late 1990s as a bonus prize tucked inside Meiji canned juice, these metal coins gave fans a fun, collectible way to carry their favorite pocket monsters around. Pokemon was reshaping global pop culture at the time, and original Japanese promotional pieces like this one remain prized finds for collectors today.
The centerpiece of this 16-coin set is the rare SP100 Mewtwo, the highest rarity coin in the entire series. The lineup also includes SP80 Venusaur, SP65 Arcanine, SP60 Clefairy, and two copies of SP45 Butterfree. Rounding out the set are ten more classic Kanto favorites: Gastly, Tentacool, Beedrill, Tauros, Venonat, Venomoth, Drowzee, Slowpoke, Goldeen, and Wartortle.
These coins have spent over 25 years tucked away, and it shows only in the best way. There's no notable damage or dirt, and the set has been lightly cleaned with alcohol. Some faint rust may be visible at certain angles, as expected for a piece of this age, but overall the condition is quite good for a genuine nineties survivor.
A complete 16-coin set with a rare SP100 Mewtwo at its heart doesn't surface often. For anyone chasing a real piece of nineties Pokemon history, this is the kind of find worth grabbing.
