One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Mon "Niji-Hōei" ND (1707) from Japan made of Copper (Copper alloy) is that it features a unique blend of traditional Japanese design elements and Western-style numismatic motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized chrysanthemum, which is a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves. The reverse side features the Japanese characters for "Niji-Hōei" (日本法受), which translates to "Japanese Law Received," signifying the coin's use as a medium of exchange under the Japanese legal system. This blending of East and West reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Japan and Europe during the Edo period (1603-1868), making the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
