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 and the Chinese character for "longevity," reflects the cultural influences of the time and represents the domain's wishes for prosperity and good fortune.
