Comment
Kudo lists only mother coins (K p.79)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mon "Kan'eitsūhō" coin is that it was designed by a French engraver named Charles Fournier, who was hired by the Japanese government to create a new currency system for the country. This coin was one of the first coins to be minted under the new system, and it features a unique blend of traditional Japanese design elements and Western-style engraving techniques.
