This coin intimates a China North Song dynasty coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Mon "Genpōtsūhō" (Seal Script) ND (1668-1685) from City of Nagasaki (Japanese feudal domains) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese design elements. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese character "Gen" (元) meaning "origin" or "beginning," while the reverse side features the Japanese character "Hō" (宝) meaning "treasure" or "riches." This blend of characters reflects the cultural exchange and influence between Japan and China during the Edo period, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
