I don't know which (if either) of the two variants is regarded as official,
but I think it is highly probable that the version with two horizontal bars
is the original form of the yen sign, as this symbol was almost certainly
created by analogy with the pound (£) and dollar ($) signs, both of which
had two bars in their original forms (though both also have variants with
one bar).
