Variants without reverse character exist (DHJ# 4.184)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mon "Kan'eitsūhō" coin from Japan made of Copper is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Sakuramachi, who ruled from 1730 to 1747. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced during his reign, which aimed to address the economic issues of the time by introducing a standardized system of coinage. The "Kan'eitsūhō" coin was the lowest denomination coin in this new system and was widely used in everyday transactions.
