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 Go-Mizunoo, who was the 108th emperor of Japan and ruled from 1611 to 1629. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced during his reign, which aimed to stabilize the economy and promote trade. The coin's design features the image of a dragon on the obverse side and the Japanese characters "Kan'eitsūhō" on the reverse side, which translates to "Treasure of the Realm." This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
