The Pattern 10 Mon "Niji-eijū" ND (1707) coin from Japan made of Copper (Copper alloy) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized chrysanthemum, which is a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture, while the reverse side features the Chinese characters "Niji-eijū" (日持永寿), which translates to "May you have a long and prosperous life." This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and trade relationships between Japan and China during the Edo period (1603-1867).
