Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Keichō Chōgin coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and cultural exchange in Japan. The Keichō period (1596-1615) saw the arrival of European traders and missionaries, and the coin's design reflects this influence, featuring a unique blend of traditional Japanese and Western motifs.
