Comment
DH#8.24 Edo mintInteresting fact
The 1 Ryō "Tenpō Koban" coin from Japan, made of gold (.568) and weighing 11.25g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political change in Japan. The Tenpō period (1830-1844) saw the country experience rapid inflation, and the government responded by introducing a new currency system, including the 1 Ryō coin, to address the issue. The coin's design, featuring a phoenix on the obverse and a dragon on the reverse, symbolized the government's efforts to restore economic stability and prosperity to the country.
