THIS TYPE OF COIN WAS FIRST MINTED  IN JAPAN IN 1860 DURING THE  MEIJI RESTORATION.

THE MEIJI RESTORATION OVER THREW  THE ONCE POWERFUL SHOGUN WARLORDS.

THE RESTORATION PERIOD FLORISHED AS WESTERN IDEAS WERE ENHANCED AND THIS ALSO LED TO THE  CANCELATION OF RECTANGULAR COINS AND ADOPTING ROUND COINS SIMILAR TO THE WEST.

THIS COIN REPRESENTS  THE END OF TRADITIONAL JAPANESE WAYS UNDER THE SHOGUNS
