| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast copper cash coin featuring four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, reading clockwise from top: 寛 (Kan), 通 (Tsū), 永 (Ei), 寶 (Hō), together forming the legend 寛永通寶 (Kan'eitsūhō, meaning 'Kan'ei currency'). The character 永 (Ei) displays the distinctive irregular script variant known as 'Nisui-Ei', characterised by an atypical brushstroke rendering that serves as a diagnostic feature for this issue. The fields between the characters are plain and unadorned, and the rim is a broad, slightly raised fillet typical of early Edo-period cast coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kan'eitsūhō coinage was authorized in 1626 under the Tokugawa shogunate and became one of the longest-running monetary issues in Japanese history, remaining officially valid through the Meiji reforms of the 1870s. The reverse numeral 三 identifies this as a product of one of the provincial mints designated during the early Kan'ei period — a decentralized production system that resulted in considerable variation in flan quality and coin weight across mint sites. The shogunate tolerated this inconsistency for decades before tightening oversight mid-century.
