| Aanvullende informatie |
Shō En founded the Second Shō Dynasty in 1469 after overthrowing the First — his chief minister Kanemaru seized power, took the name Shō En, and then retroactively fabricated a genealogical connection to the First Dynasty to legitimize the transition. The Kinenseihō coinage belongs to this politically fraught early reign, making it as much a political instrument as a medium of exchange. Ryukyu at this moment was a thriving maritime entrepôt, conducting trade across Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Japan simultaneously.
Chinese-style cast copper cash from Ryukyu are scarce survivors; the kingdom relied heavily on imported Chinese coin for daily commerce, and domestic issues were limited in both volume and duration.
