Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Chōgin "Hoei Futatsuhō Chōgin" coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the Hoei era (1704-1710), which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and combat inflation. The coin's silver content and standardized design were introduced as part of these reforms, and it became a widely used denomination in Japan's currency system.
