Dear Mr. Patel:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the undersigned, the Chief Financial Officer of Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC, the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of the CurrencyShares^® Japanese Yen Trust (the “Trust”), hereby requests on behalf of the Trust that the above-referenced Registration Statement be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on Tuesday, June 21, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

We hereby acknowledge that:

• should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

• the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
