Bunsei Koban 文政小判

In the Edo period, there were basically three types of coins used: gold, silver, and copper coins. One ryō was approximately 4,000 - 6,000 mon, or about 100,000 yen in modern terms. This koban, issued in conjunction with the 1819 recasting, was called a “sōmon koban” because the character “mon” was written in sōsho cursive script on the back.
