Authentic 1700-1860 Japanese Samurai/Shogun Era Mon Coin Set

This exceptional Japanese Samurai/Shogun Era Mon Coin Set offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Japanese currency from 1700 to 1860. Comprising six authentic coins, including three 1 Mon coins from 1336-1636, one 1 Mon coin from the Edo period (1636-1870), one 4 Mon coin with the iconic 11 waves design from 1768-1868, and one large 100 Mon coin from 1835-1956, this set encapsulates significant historical and economic changes in Japan. The 1 Mon coins, including the Kan'ei Tsūhō coin introduced by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1636, reflect efforts to standardize copper coinage after a 700-year hiatus. The 4 Mon Kan'ei Tsūhō coin, initially minted with 21 waves and later revised to 11 waves in 1769, highlights the craftsmanship of the Edo period. The 100 Mon coin, issued in 1835 to address fiscal deficits, underscores the economic challenges and inflationary pressures of the era.
