Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Chōgin "Hōei Yotsuhō Chōgin" (12 Daikoku) ND (1711-1712) 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 design, featuring the 12 symbols of the Chinese zodiac, was meant to represent the harmony and balance that the government hoped to achieve through its economic policies. Despite the coin's interesting history, it is not considered a rare or highly valuable collector's item, and its value is primarily historical and cultural rather than monetary.
