Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mon "Sendai-tsūhō" (Bosen; small 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" (宝清), which means "treasure clarity" or "auspicious clarity," while the reverse features the character "sendai" (仙台), the name of the Sendai Domain. This design was chosen to reflect the domain's reputation for producing high-quality copper, and the coin was likely used as a form of currency within the domain.
