Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Chōgin "Hōei Mitsuhō Chōgin" (12 Daikoku) ND (1710-1711) coin from Japan is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the Hōei era, which aimed to stabilize the currency and stimulate trade. The coin's unique blend of 32% silver and 68% copper, known as billon, was a common composition for coins during this period, as it was more durable and resistant to counterfeiting than pure silver or copper coins.
