Comment
Kyoto / Edo mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Chōgin "Genbun Chōgin" coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the "Genbun era," which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and promote trade. The coin's design, featuring six stamps or "cho" on one side and the Japanese characters for "Genbun" on the other, reflects this focus on economic growth and development.
