Descrizione del dritto	Vertically oriented domain bill (藩札) printed in black letterpress on washi paper, with a bird vignette occupying the upper register. The denomination and issuing authority are rendered in Chinese regular script (楷書) arranged in vertical columns, identifying the note as valid across three provinces and issued by the Provincial Bill Office (国鈔會所). The overall layout is characteristically spare, consistent with late Edo- and early Meiji-period han札 production.

Commenti	Kagoshima Domain — the political base of the Satsuma han — issued this note during one of the most consequential years in Japanese history. The Meiji Restoration was underway, and Satsuma had been central to the coalition that toppled the Tokugawa shogunate. Domain-issued paper currency (hansatsu) had circulated in Japan since the late seventeenth century, but by 1868 the new imperial government was already moving to suppress it — hansatsu were formally abolished in 1871 under the currency unification laws that preceded the creation of the yen. Any note from this domain and this year was functionally obsolete within three years of issue.
