Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Mameitagin "Hōei Mitsuhō Mameitagin" (Double Daikoku) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan. The Hōei era (1704-1711) saw the implementation of various economic policies aimed at stabilizing the economy and addressing issues such as inflation and debasement of the currency. The minting of this coin, which was made of Billon (.320 silver), was likely a response to the need for a more stable and reliable currency during this time.
