1 Mon 'Fujushinpō' - Saga

One of the Twelve Imperial Coins (*Jūnikai Sen*) issued under the ritsuryō monetary system, the Fugashinnō-sen was produced at provincial mints as the imperial government attempted to sustain copper coinage circulation across the home islands. The effort largely failed — hoarding was endemic, and repeated imperial edicts threatening punishment for those who refused to accept coin in trade had to be reissued throughout the Nara and early Heian periods, which itself tells you how little the currency was trusted.
