Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mon "Sendai-tsūhō" (Bosen; large type) ND (1784) from Sendai Domain (Japanese feudal domains) made of Copper (Copper alloy) is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The obverse of the coin bears the character "bosei" (望西), which means "looking towards the west," and the reverse features a stylized image of a phoenix, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity.
