Interesting fact

The 1 Mon "Eirakutsūhō" coin from Japan, made of silver and weighing 3.68g, was issued during the reign of Emperor Ogimachi (1557-1586) and was used as a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese influences, reflecting the cultural exchange that occurred between the two countries during the 16th century.
