| Opmerkingen |
Hiroshima Domain's paper money circulated as domain-specific hansatsu — notes valid only within the issuing han's territory and legally worthless beyond its borders. This created a fractured monetary geography across Tokugawa Japan, with hundreds of feudal domains running parallel currency systems that merchants navigating domain borders had to manage through exchange brokers. The 1 monme denomination was a silver-unit abstraction; actual silver payment was rarely made, the note functioning instead as a transferable credit within the domain's commercial circuit.
The red overstamp on this example almost certainly indicates a revalidation or authorized re-issue — a common administrative mechanism when domain finances were restructured, not evidence of a separate printing.
