Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Mameitagin "Genbun Mameitagin" (Double Daikoku) coin from Japan is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the "Genbun" era, which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and promote trade. The coin's unique design, featuring two Daikoku (a mythical creature representing prosperity and good luck) on opposite sides, symbolizes the dual nature of the reform efforts: to promote both economic growth and stability.
