Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Mon "Kan'eitsūhō" (Reverse ト reversed) ND (1865) from Japan made of Iron is that it was issued during the Meiji Restoration, a time of significant cultural and economic change in Japan. The coin's design, featuring a reverse ト (To) character, was a result of a mistake by the minting company, which accidentally flipped the mold, resulting in the reversed character. Despite the error, the coin was still issued and circulated, making it a unique and interesting piece of Japanese numismatic history.
