1 Bu 'Doshū Kinsatsu'

Tosa Domain's paper currency from 1868 sits at a hinge point: the Meiji Restoration was underway, and han issuing their own notes on the old feudal model were operating on borrowed time. The new government moved quickly to suppress domain currencies, and most Tosa notes were called in and destroyed within a few years of issue — which accounts for the scarcity of surviving examples across the entire Tosa series.

The "Doshū Kinsatsu" designation identifies this as domain gold-standard scrip, a classification that says more about nominal backing claims than actual convertibility practice.
