Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ansei Chōgin coin is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and economic change in Japan. The coin was introduced in 1859, just a few years after the country had opened up to the rest of the world following a period of isolation known as the Edo period. This coin was part of a broader effort to modernize Japan's economy and align it with international standards. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a new development for Japanese coins at the time, and reflected the country's desire to adopt Western technologies and practices.
