Japan reformed their coinage after the World War starting in 1948, Showa year 23. For that year, brass 5 yen pieces carried no central hole. For Showa 24, the 5 yen coins were minted in brass with and without the hole.
Typical average values for the coins without holes are:
worn: less than $1 approximate catalog value
average circulated: less than $1
well preserved: $1
fully uncirculated: $10
The Showa 23 coins are somewhat more rare than the Shown 24 coins, so their values are a tad more than the figures above.
so you may want confirmation on which you have.
Coin Value: Japan 5 Yen 1948 and 1949
