Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great change in Japan. The 17th century was a period of political and social upheaval, marked by the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled the country for over 250 years. The coin's design, featuring the characters "Tenseigenpō" (Regular Script) and the city of Nagasaki, reflects the influence of Chinese culture and trade on Japan during this time. Despite the challenges of the era, the coin's production and circulation demonstrate the resilience and resourcefulness of the Japanese people.
