Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akita Fūgin coin is that it was minted during the Bakumatsu period, a time of significant social and political change in Japan. The coin's design, which features a pair of Japanese wisteria blossoms, was meant to symbolize the unity and harmony of the Japanese people during this time of transformation.
