Comment
Only mother coins are made. Circulating coins are made by countermark 十 on rim.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mon "Kan'eitsūhō" (Bosen; 十 reverse) ND (1736) from Japan made of Copper is that it is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors. It is considered a "pattern" coin, meaning that it was produced as a trial or sample coin and not intended for circulation. The "Kan'eitsūhō" designation refers to the reverse side of the coin, which features the Chinese character for "ten" (十), indicating the coin's denomination. The fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, adds to its rarity and value.
