Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mon "Eirakutsūhō" coin from Japan is that it was made using a unique hammered gold technique, which gives it a distinctive texture and appearance. This technique involved hammering the gold into shape using special tools, creating a pattern of small dents and ridges on the surface of the coin. This process not only added to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also made it more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
