Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Eirakutsūhō" coin is that it was issued during the Sengoku period, a time of civil war in Japan, and its design features a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese elements. The coin's obverse side bears the Chinese character for "gold" (金), while the reverse side features a stylized chrysanthemum, which was a symbol of the Japanese emperor. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex political and cultural landscape of Japan during this period.
