Comment
This type uses the same stamp as the Single Daikoku type, as the stamp is usually larger than the coin, somtimes parts of Daikoku can be seen in the right.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tenpō Mameitagin coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform in Japan, known as the Tenpō period, which aimed to promote economic growth and stability by introducing new currency and monetary policies. The coin's design, featuring a stylized Phoenix on the obverse and a Chinese character on the reverse, symbolized the country's commitment to modernization and cultural exchange with China.
