| Obverse description | Oval gold flan with a finely hammered surface. The upper portion of the obverse features an elaborate floral and interlaced arabesque decorative motif in relief, typical of Edo-period Japanese gold coinage. Below the decorative panel, two Japanese characters are inscribed vertically in cursive brush-style script, reading '壱分' (One Bu), denoting the denomination. The overall aesthetic reflects the traditional hand-crafted artistry characteristic of domain-issued kinza gold pieces. |
