Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Chōgin "Gokuyō Chōgin" ND (1592-1595) coin from Japan is that it was issued during a time of great economic change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by the Japanese government in the late 16th century, which aimed to stabilize the economy and promote trade. The Chōgin coin was one of the first silver coins to be widely used in Japan and its introduction marked a shift away from the traditional use of bartering and towards a more modern monetary system.
