Only Yamaha can tell you for certain but it is believed to be a series number.

It's a series number. To be 20 years old, the serial number should be H3988000 or above.
Other prefixes *can*, but not always, indicate factory or country of origin:
U= USA Michigan
E= UK
C= China
J= Indonesia
T= USA Georgia
Don't be confused by the occasional series prefix J on a G-series grand. The only grands from the Indonesian factory are post 2000 model GA1 and GB1s. The small uprights, the like of the C109 and C113 are also Indonesian.
E numbered UK-built Yamahas follow the Kemble numbering for age ID, but earlier Yamahas from the UK factory had no prefix.
