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 reflects the political and social upheaval of the era. The coin's reverse side features an image of the Omodaka, a mythical creature said to have the power to control the weather, which was a symbol of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition to unify Japan under a single ruler. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
