One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 50 Mon "Dōzanshihō" ND (1862-1864) from Kubota Domain (Japanese feudal domains) made of Copper clad lead is that it was minted during a time of great change in Japan. The coin was produced during the Bakumatsu period, which was a time of rapid modernization and westernization in Japan. This coin was one of the first coins to be minted using modern machinery and techniques, and it marked a departure from the traditional Japanese coinage system. The use of copper clad lead was also a new innovation for Japanese coins, and it was a sign of the country's increasing engagement with the global economy.
