Interesting fact
The Fujushinpō coin was issued during the Saga period in Japan, which was a time of great cultural and artistic achievement. The coin's design features a stylized image of a phoenix, which was a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Japanese culture. The phoenix was also associated with the emperor, and the coin's design may have been intended to convey the emperor's divine authority and connection to the natural world. Despite its age, the Fujushinpō coin remains a popular collector's item and a fascinating piece of Japanese history.
