Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kyōhō Mameitagin coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the Kyōhō era, which aimed to stabilize the currency and stimulate trade. The coin's design, featuring the god of wealth and prosperity, Daikoku, on one side and an inscription on the other, symbolized the government's efforts to promote economic growth and prosperity.
