Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kaga Nanryōgin coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Japan. The coin was produced in 1866, just a few years before the Meiji Restoration of 1868, which saw the end of the feudal system and the beginning of Japan's modernization. This coin is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Japan's feudal era, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
